I was working on my car...trying to replace the ignition cylinder (which I have no idea how to remove the existing one :confused: ). Then, I went inside and watched a movie in my air conditioned comfort ;)

I got off work at 4 yesterday and got a ride back from a buddy so luckily I wasn't stuck in the trains. I listened to the radio all night till I fell asleep to which point I woke up this morning at 8 and the power was back on around 8:30.

She's a blonde huh? :D

I was at work for about 20 minutes before power died. We ushered out all of the customers, then played some soccer in the parking lot. And then went home while two managers set up bunks to watch over the store (alarm system backup power died before too long).

Didn't do too much at home though but listen to the radio and use a propane burner to cook food. :)

I was driving home. The traffic was really bad so I stopped by a stripper club, had some cold ones, and enjoyed the show.

How could anyone possibly be trapped on an ESCALATOR for three hours? Maybe an ELEVATOR . . . . .
