Well, that was....interesting.
Hey, I'm back from the Heart of Darkness. What a weird damn day yesterday was.
About 4:20, everything in my office browned out, then came back, then browned out again, then just died. I got my first clue that the blackout was huge when we couldn't connect with our friendly local utility via phone. I then took a trip out to my local supermarket and bought ice and batteries, then settled in for the darkest night I've ever seen. One upside was that Mars looked like an enormous glowing marble in the sky last night, the closest it'll be to Earth in thousands of years.
In the midst of sitting here with no juice, I got called by the Randi Rhodes Show to give them a report on my perspective on the blackout. It was nice of them to call, and it illustrates how Team Randi gets right on top of a story when it breaks.
So now I've got a massive backlog of things to do, and it looks as though the F&B list has grown immensely.
Replies: somebody speaks up.
We had to drink all the beer before it got warm... oh, the humanity!
;)
Actually, it wasn't too terrible. And, we did get to see a lot of starts, and planets, which was very cool.
