Hey ya,

The power flipped on and off about four times and the last time it stayed that way. I was in the middle of the last episode of "Merlin" on NBC when it happened so I wasn't on the computer at the time. But it still sucked. Maybe they'll bring it out on video so I can see the ending.

Some transformer went out and the whole town was without power for awhile. I started thinking about what it would be like if S.J. and I were living in a large city when something like that happened. It was eerie. All of a sudden it was like, "well gee, what do we do now?". This went on for about 45 min. so we decided to go to WMT and get some more candles and some batteries for the electric alarm clocks. I finally bought an old fashioned wind up clock just so we would have one if it ever happened again (rather doubt it would be anytime soon). The power company which services our area had to drive an hour away just for simple little part to fix the problem. I couldn't believe they didn't have it on hand. I heard they moved everything to a more centralized location. I guess we should be glad we can still pay our power bill at the two person office which is still in town. It will probably go sooner or later.

Noticed the Toronto market sold off pretty good today. Did you buy?

Yes, BORL hit the stop so the sell went through, but that is okay because I bought twice as much this last time before the brief run up. Will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

What was it you said you followed and or owned?
