Hi,

Got a call from a relative in NY who says the power has been out for about an hour.  Now I see the major networks telling us several cities are affected.  Really feel bad for the people stuck in the dark subway tunnels on a 90 degree day.

Regular BUSH double talk.*

NY looks like such a mess on a regular day with power...

I have no idea what those people feel like.*

There was one in the UK as well because of the heat wave everyone bought fans and the power usage went up by a lot and they had trouble keeping the reactors cool and it caused some power outages

Not near me though thankfully

It is a pain when the power goes out though, I feel lost without the computer and have to revert back to 20th century pasttimes like reading and playing board games argggg
