Today's the aftermath of the huge power failure yesterday afternoon. The power failure overed the state of New York in the States, and the entire of Ontario. I was in a subway station, waiting for friends when it happened. The light flickered, and all the lights, except for a few went black. Good thing no body I know got trapped in the subway. We walked around the city, and finding everything closed. When it got dark, it got really dark. No street lights, or any light from buildings. I rushed home to help out in the store, in case of any possible trouble. Darkness and breakdown of basic condiitons do things to people. Luckily, Torontonians were very well behaved last night. I actually had a good time guiding customers by flashlights. The sky under the city was suddenly free of light pollution, and the stars shined through magneficently, just like how they were at camp. I actually got up very early in the morning, at 6:30 am in fact. God, I can't remember when was the last time I got up before 10:00am. I went to practice in the park across from my home, for the first time in years. It felt very good, I think I just might continue to do this whole "get up early" thing. They say there's gonna be rolling power outs as they adjust the power grid for the next few hours/days. Hence I have no idea when my computer will floap on me. Maybe even NOW!! .................................no? alright, good.
