"Dad?" I asked before I stepped beyond my front door. "I am going to debit some batteries at Kroger."
"Just don't buy beer!" my father said and we both chuckled.
Seriously? The last thing I would want tonight is a beer and the accompanying headache it always gave me.
I was interested in thwarting the power company. I was going to put a new 9-volt battery in my alarm clock. The next time the power went out, my clock would remain unaffected. I have been meaning to do this for years and years.
Zachary was manning the self-checkout lines tonight with his little iPad thingy.. I scurried to a self checkout after I got two 9-volt batteries.
"Oh, I don't have to worry about you," Zack said with a smile. "You and your father are old hats with these machines."
It was good to see his sardonic soul. Soon, I was soon headed out the door with two fresh 9 volt batteries.

If you have a cell phone you can set an alarm on that. No power black out. As long as phone charged. My daughter doesn't even have a clock,she uses her phone alarm.
