When You Can't Pack Heat

... Pack Light.

On a very windy night, the power went out at the end of tonight's class and I was rather dismayed that in the whole class of budding film makers, I was the only one who had a flashlight handy. I saw a whole bunch of cellphones open up, but not another flashlight. You'd think that all these students taking a night class, especially the more vulnerable female students, would carry a small flashlight, just in case the normally well-lit parking lot became less so.

Well, sure, the lights came back on before we'd ventured very far into the parking lot... but what if it hadn't?
