We just got our lights back on here in the Shangri-la Club House. Strangely enough, it had nothing to do with the blackout. Seems that ehMacLand Hydro did not accept our check. Go figure!!! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yes, the club's XServe is back up and dishing out the club propaganda.

Hmm, it seems the frozen salmon didn't make it, after 2 days of thawing, and finally we are again able to fire up the Pacman machine

Things are almost normal

Now that we are back to "normal", as Minnes states, brunch is again being served. Of course, there are many out there in ehMacLand that would question the normalcy of this thread and many of the participants that partake in it's "tranquility". Still, what do they know???

After reading all the posts from the Western Division of ehMac I'm ready for some nice fresh coffee, black please.

Macnutt has really been busy the past few hours. Maybe he will drop by and "relax".

Dr.G.

Good afternoon, lotus. We have the "Lotus Special", a fine blend of mild coffees grown in environmentally friendly manners and picked by workers who were paid a good wage for their labors. You shall be the first to try out our regular and decaf Lotus Special.

Right lotus, it's been a vociferous exchange of volleys from centre (TO) to right (left coast) and back made more interesting by the fact that macnutt is surrounded by "lotus eaters" (pardon) and we by hardass capitalist tools. [img]graemlins/lmao.gif[/img]

Macello, what is your view about how Mel Lastman handled the situation in "Trawna" during the blackout?

He was correct in so hopelessly a dramatic way to proclaim Torontonians as superheroes under these circumstances.
Mel sounds quite deranged lately, maybe because as he admits, his medications are "powerful".
He's been our weird, over-the-top uncle and will be honoured for trying too hard.

He may be Mel, but he's our's!

Dr.G.

Macello, I have heard various commentaries about how he handled the crisis, and I was just curious to know a first-hand account from a non-media person.

minnes

To be honest, if it had gone on for a couple more days, and i had some candles and flashlights and a little nonperishable food, I would have been fine un til Monday.

I really missed being unable to read most, other than that it is nice to have my Mac operational, but I was greatful for the phones still working.

The real crisis would have been the lack of water in our cities, fortunately we never had to cross that bridge, but we need to think about it now.
