Hey, cool...we have power when almost nowhere else does.

Oh, shit. That means I have to work another half hour.

Well, it's a small price to pay to have the ability to defend ourselves from the downfall of Western Civilization.

I've been away from TV and mass media all day, so imagine my surprise to have randomly put the TV on late in the evening and immediately heard that police in major eastern seaboard cities were prepared for rioting.

It was interesting. ;-)

True, true.

Now, don't you wish you'd got your loot on?

LOOTENANNY! (carries off a crate of high-caffiene sodapop)

I just heard there was looting in Ottawa. I reflexively went "Looting? Ottawa?". Then the news people had the Ohio Lieutenant Governor interviewed in a Columbus, Ohio situation room. I was amazed that half the eastern seaboard dropped into temporary post-civilization, and Cleveland and Ottawa were news hotspots.

It really is probably the only time that Fox News will ever even acknowlege Ottawa exists.

Hell, I was talking to some friends in Toronto to make sure they were OK, and they all were amazed and shocked that /anything/ happened in Ottawa, let alone that Americans heard about it.

NEED MORE POWWAH!

Note that usn's in Southern Ohio are on a different grid and are therefore safe from the depredations of looters and the foibles of the American-Canadian border.

I've been up for far too long!!
