The electricity has gone out five times today. The first four times, the power outages only lasted, at most, about as long as Chopin's "Minute Waltz." The fifth power outage, however, lasted over 20 minutes.
It's interesting to ride out a power outage with "Minute Waltz" playing on a back-of-the-mind mental loop 20 times. Who knew that such a fast piece could have such a calming effect?
