Lesson 126--A loss of power

 

 

I wasn't able to get today's lesson up at my normally scheduled time because the power was off in the city where I live.  Luckily, it provided a good theme for today's lesson.

Expressions to explain a loss of power.

 

Experiment and enjoy using these expressions.  You will always here them in a sitcom when the power goes out....and this happens at least once in every sitcom.
