The light bulbs in the hall leading to the mud room and garage have blown. Is this a harbinger of things to come?  My anonymous government whitleblower said it would start small-the little things.  |

Actually I think it was the herb chicken dinner I had last night. Plus I got the dayum noisiest fridge.

Probably just the burrito from lunch. On last night's Jimmy Kimmel show, Jimmy noted to comedian Chris Elliot he had lost quite a bit of weight. Elliot said (jokingly) his wife put him on a Nut-Lax diet: a box of Ex-Lax in the morning followed by a cashew during the afternoon. The excess weight just poured out of him. |

I can see the headlines now in 9 months. The baby boom is blamed on the power outage in November.

Well, whenever it is, and you can tell I haven't taken it too seriously, I hope my aunt is able to comfort my other aunt. I think my uncle will be hiding in his work shop!

So did anyone notice anything happening in the real world ? I was so dang busy trying to keep up with that thread on YM OT and listening to Mayor Fords crap, that I didn't notice NADA and my puter didn't lose any power.
So what happened ?

My cable popped out for like 2 minutes this afternoon. But the power is still on & my gramma wasn't raptured....so we're good. |

Steff that's all positives, except losing cable for a few minutes so that's really good.

There is an awfully bright object in the southwest sky. It could be a harbinger of an impending electromagnetic pulse in the South.

ROFL, Tenn. Yep. Venus is probably going to cause all sorts of chaos. She's a feisty ol' broad.  |

If folks would think of the catastrophic consequences of such events if it was that big and close (to the naked eye, Mars as big as the full moon in the sky) they might research a little further whether the email is fact or fiction.

I recall getting one of those emails, Tennesseer. I think it was from my daughter before I threatened her life if she sent me any more garbage emails before checking the darned things out! |

Well, we've still got power here in the Midwest. Another non-event. Just like New Year's Eve 1999.  |

Don't count this out yet, there is always the 14th too. This was a two day event.

OK, this is creepy. The power is out in my home right now, but all my lights and electronics are still on. The phone's out too, but I can still make calls. This is just surreal. |
