Wonder who among our regulars are in the dark? Dan_ref, Jurassic Referee, others?

We lost power briefly in Eastern CT, but no problems since.


I'd like to just quickly point out that New York (home of the Mets and Yankees) lost power, while Boston (home of the Red Sox) did not.

I think it's pretty clear which team is God's choice for the AL pennant this year.

I was wondering about Chuck, but I'm not sure he's home this weekend.

I don't know if I count as a regular, but...
Here in Poughkeepsie, NY, power was restored at about 2:30 am (as best as I can judge by all the flashing clocks that I had to reset when I woke up). Surprisingly, the NY Times was at my front door, though the Poughkeepsie Journal wasn't. The Times web site reports that much of Manhattan is still without power.

Yeah, you're a regular. it's just that I don't know who lives in the area.

Juules, unless Chuck got out before 4pm on Thrusday, he's still there. I would guess Mr. Dexter is on summer break. And NVRef is right, that is redundant.

The Yankees are so good they don't need light. If you think the Bosux are God's team, check with us in October.

I think Chuck is in the dark. Wait a minute, were you talking about lights or his calls?

Looks like mick is in the dark, too. His last post was at 2pm yesterday.

If Juulie sounds redudant, you can bet that she was deliberately employing some subtle literary device that the average reader would not understand.

Not sure how much of a standard deviation you define as a regular, but both JRs were hit by the blackout.

For me: off at 04:15pm, on at: 03:30am, about 11 hours, 34 minutes.
