  Power has just come back on in my section of Ottawa,
  after 18 hours of nothing. About 50% of the city now
  has power but it is considered a rolling blackout and
  none of us are assured of having continous
  electricity. *sigh*

  I was at work yesterday when the power went off and we
  managed to get people safely out of 12 theatres in a
  matter of minutes. 

  I've lost everything in my fridge but had the sense
  not to open the chest freezer in the basement so all
  that food is still fine. Now to try and find a store
  that's got power so I can get milk and have coffee.
  I'm not good company without my morning coffee. Thanks
  goodness only the kitten had to deal with me today. :)

  Sheryll, thinking this is a piece of cake compared to
  having dealt with the ice storm years ago
