lost power around 4 something in the afternoon. got it back around 9am. at first it was exciting. i also enjoyed the peace and quiet when i got home. then it got hot. then i got pissed at the mayor, who lied. on the radio around 6pm he said power would be on by night time. then said it would be on in a couple of hours. then he went home! none of the fucking buses worked, everything was disorganized. cops were sitting in groups chatting, while a couple of blocks away civilians directed traffic. and the fucking mayor went home! which proves he's useless.
then i smelled gas, and so did my neighbors. the gas company came and fiddled around all over the place. with candles burning in the area, it wasn't that much fun. then radio said parts of the city had power back, but didn't say which parts. so i figured they lied, just like about when the power would go on.
today i saw on tv my mayor, my governor, the mayor of cleavland, the mayor of detroit, and the mayor of toronto all say the same thing: "there were no incidents in our city, unlike the other places that had blackouts." basically thanking the herd for not misbehaving, and inducing pride. but what are these "other places" they're talking about? i wanted to throw up at this point.
i always thought canada was a separate country. now i see we share electricity. must be great for national security. speaking of which, if this were an act of terrorism i doubt they'd tell us because of all the "work" they put in to keep us safer.
and what i found really funny today--on CNN they described how the power plants shut done. at least one was a nuclear power plant that shut down because it didn't get enough electricity! the plant relied on outside power!
