Like that hasn't been talked about yet.

Sheesh...go back to resting on tax-payer dollars.

Rather cranky, aren't we?

Someone obviously didn't get any when the lights went out yesterday. :p

Haven't had any in months...divorced now. And my car isn't running...and it's hot...and I have this rash....and....

Yeah, it looked like some pretty bad storms here in Phx too. I live in Apache Junction and we didn't get squat. Just some wind and lightning.

It let loose for about an hour here then calmed down, but there were some pretty strong winds. I couldn't believe the ammount of lightning I was seeing though. The sky was charged up. Strikes were going off in the Calalina's multiple just about every second. It was nasty. Today's been pretty overcase and drizzeling. It a nice break from the 107+ weather earlier this week.

I think people who were living in the areas of the blackout were having a blast. Everyone around me was outside, having BBQ and lighting fireworks. A lot of people went to bars too. Its a fun experience to deal with these situations and meet the people around you.


It also slows things down and you can enjoy life for a little while.
