  |  I'm sure most of you know that the eastren coast had a major power outage that hit N.Y, to Michigan, north Ohio and into Canada. I got lucky, I'm about 2 hours from the areas of Ohio that were hit, but my thoughts go out to those who were hit by the outage. I hope evrybody affected makes it through safe and sound. Here's a couple of news reports I pulled off the web... http://www.msnbc.com/news/952578.asp?pne=msntv http://www.msnbc.com/news/297115.asp?pne=msntv Also, NBC is saying that this is the worse outage in 75 years.... hmmm.... sounds like the electric company needs an upgrade!  Hope everybody is ok and the power is back on soon.

| Figures, I'd rather have the power on at home and off at work - a day off! The power failure stopped short of us up here. I'm sure we'll wind up hearing some wierd story about how some kid did something to his Xbox and wound up knocking out the power for millions of people...

| I turned on the news this morning and they had some hick blaming it all on the U.S. It was great. He had no idea what he was talking about, and he said the word terrorist about 14 times I love having satellite, it's easier to find bad programs now...... Then again, it's all Canadain tv right, so it's like looking for water in the middle of a lake
