Imagine that you&#x27;re on a date.  You&#x27;ve got a nice evening planned, only to run into a state-wide blackout.  Now the trick is to get food <i>at all</i>.  You see this restaurant with a lot of cars out front.  Turns out they have gas grills, so they can cook some kinds of food.  (Not french fries, though - that machine&#x27;s electric).  They&#x27;re working by candlelight, adding up the tab on a hand calculator, pouring pop out of bottles, and they are <i>not</i> taking credit cards.<p>Been there, done that.  Only once, but yeah, it happens.
