Topic: Massive Blackout

[mouse_clicker]

When my dad used to live in Canada (in northern Alberta), they had to take day trips down to Edmonton when they wanted food or clothes.

I don't know about your dad but I like to eat food every day. I'd be goin' down there a LOT!

Wassup kiddies, glad to know  I wasn't alone.

I was just reading an article on how Dead Phoenix got cancelled (Nooooo...) And the power just went. First I thought it was a fluke, but after being filled in that this was no oridinary blackout, I prepared for the worst. At least the water was still running, so it wasn't impossible...

I lived on a diet of untoasted bread and my dad whipped out the propane grilled and had some pork.  At night, my GBA SP came in handy as a makeshift flashlight as well as source of entertainment. I did a bit of reading during the daylight hours and some walking, though the humidity was almost unbeareable.

I'm in the Metro Detroit area (As I stated probably a dozen times) and I believe it was around 34-36 hours till the lights came back on. I heard that the politicians were first playing the blame game (U.S accused Canada and Vice Versa) But George Dubya called Jean Chretin (Canada's Prime Minister) To apologize. I also heard some theory about a Nuclear plant in Lansing (Michigan's capital) went haywire, causing the mayhem.

Thankfully, Chaos and Anarachy was averted. I expected to lock my doors and sleep with a baseball bat, but the people in general stayed calm. Guess people can be rational too....

Berny: They stocked up, man. You don't buy one day's worth of food, you bought enough to last you a looong while.
