The Blackout

Yes, we're all well here in the vast land of darkness that stretched across much of the northeastern part of North America for a day or so. We're feeling pretty sticky and unkempt, and perhaps a wee bit cranky. But we're surviving what is a pretty tame emergency by the standards of the rest of the world. I'll have some reflections on all this at some point, naturally. But I'd better get off my computer before we get hit with one of the rolling blackouts predicted to come our way as the authorities struggle to get the power back to normal.
