if they're telling people to not to turn on the a/c, conserve power, until everything returns back to normal, etc...
why are all the big flashy lights on at Times Square?

I work for an airline that is linked to the fifth largest airline in the US......when you call their reservation number for information or rebooking right now, it says that the call volume is toooo much to handle, and try going to the website to answer your questions. BUT....if you do not have power (and therefore are calling), how do you get to the website?
Smart folks!

Isn't it funny how one country blames another? Last I heard, or at least what they're telling us here, is that they're narrowing it down to the Fort Erie grid....or Syracuse, New York. As far as we know, the only reason we have power is because Jean Chretian (Prime Minister) decided to cut our power from the power in the States, which is why at leats some parts of Ontario have light. And water. Water is key. Toronto doesn't have water yet.....

My troops have pulled back. We crossed the border at Windsor, and got attacked by a couple of "Bubba's." They were in plaid.

\zonelistener said:Sad, but it only took three or four "Bubba's" - my troops were small, and "we hadn't eaten all day."
Go ahead...make fun of us for being lightweights.
Headache in a Suitcase said:ahhh how i love people.
so i get a phone call at work today from a parent who was wondering why we were closed friday (work in the office at a summer program... 32 different camps... 1200 kids total... yadda yadda yadda). the woman was very upset that we didn't give her a "courtesy call" about the closure on friday. i tried to explain to this wackadoo that, um, there was a massive state wide black out. that explanation was apparently not good enough. she tried saying we should have used cell phones or a pay phone to call each person individualy. ya know... sometimes i just love the human race.
