Wanted to expand your verse's to include mine too.. Tonight at the IRS (where I work) power went down for a few hrs due to lightning, and by the time it came back up and everyone's computer had been fixed, (mine was the very last) it was time to go home. So I guess what I wanted to say was, thank you America for paying me to sit on my ass tonight. Your taxes helped fund my inactivity.

Not at all. That was my second thought. I don't know anybody that lives in those areas personally, but there are a couple regular posters to this board that live there. Found out Philomel in Toronto was okay but also without water and upset about that. Still haven't heard from Lost Angel, who I believe is in a burrough of New York.
Regardless, once that was thought I went, "Dude. Mars is going to be so bright!"

I live in Utah, and I can tell you that "blow job" isn't that bad a word compared to other words, like "Fuck" or "God Damn," according to Mormons. That's because it does't count as having "sex" nor is it using the Lord's name in vain. Sorry that "Blow Job" is painful to you, I won't say it again, I'm really sorry.
Geeze, Iwas jokin'-mostly-
I guess that's what you call opening a can of worms. I realy wish I hadn'y said anything now. And in case you don't remember I was quoting from f.Mal tellinh Jayne to behave at the table.
Have a really nice day Succatash and count on me never trying to curb your rhetoric again.

By the way- in no way is blow job painful to me

Just an update:
Quote:
``We're the world's greatest superpower, but we have a Third World electricity grid,'' said former Energy Secretary Bill Richardson, now governor of New Mexico.
Quote:
William Museler, president of the New York Independent System Operator, which manages the state's electric grid, said ``huge'' power fluctuations originating from a Midwest power plant started the downfall of the grid at 4:11 p.m. Thursday. He said the power swings became so large that the Ontario system could not sustain them, and the problem migrated to New York.
As the power fluctuated, generators in New York tripped off to protect themselves, an act of self-preservation that made it possible to restore power Friday morning, Museler said.
Quote:
In Vermont, a quick shutdown of power fees from New York helped the state avoid major outages.
Quote:
After the 1965 blackout hit the Northeast, the industry sought to put in safeguards that would isolate future transmission problems. In some cases this worked.
Quote:
Michehl Gent, the NERC president, said he was fairly confident terrorism wasn't involved. Federal officials earlier said there is no evidence of terrorism.
``We don't have any indication of blown-up equipment,'' he said on ABC's ``Good Morning America.'' ``So, we're almost certain it's not terrorism of any kind.''

Mars is nice right now, but it is still just a little red dot with the eye alone. Thus not overly impressive.

I forgot the most important bit, news says that the evidence points to ... Ohio.
