Default my q saved my a$$

so im sitting in hotel in downntown oklahoma city awating my training course to begin the next day when power in most of the city failed. as i awoke i thought i would go down to the lobby to check on status of training (cancelled!!) opened my door and the battery emergency lights ran out of juice so halls and stairwell was illuminated only with glowsticks. trusty q in hand in flashlight mode, easily found my way to lobby. went to 7-11 for some sort of food as no nearby restauraunts were open and cabs not running cause 2 in of ice on roads. my purchase was rung up with q in flashlight mode by clerk with calculator. walked back to hotel, no phones working anywere and wifi was down. not to worry, my handy q was able to find united airlines reservation number with google and within seconds, i was booking a flight outta there. no flights till the next morning so im stuck in a dark and rather cold hotel room with nothing to do... but wait.....streaming xm and tv!!!!..YES!!! that with much beer enabled the night to go quickly. now im waiting for my connecting flight in denver to get home. oh yeah, stupid OKC airport charges for wifi...q to the rescue again with dial up networking!! almost home now and NEVER would have made it without my Q!!

Yes, I live in a suburb of OKC and was one of the lucky ones with power the last couple of days.
