Power Outage

[threeplusfire]

The word at the moment is that it is a massive power grid failure, not terrorism. The phones are crazy, but I'm trying to get ahold of NYC people.

My wife was able to call me from Manhattan. She said things are crazy, in the sense that the streets are full of people and you can't get anywhere, but sane in the sense that people have yet to go nuts or start burning or smashing things.

The streets look mad, mad, mad. All those people. I hope your wife can get home alright in the crowds.

Oh, yes, she did: that's where I spoke with her. Her office is just over two miles from our apartment, so I expect the walk was just under the threshhold of being really fucking annoying. Meanwhile, because our apartment is relatively central, it's become a drop-in center for our friends who can't make it back home.

Well that's good. So you can at least hang out, instead of sitting in the dark all night long wondering what everyone else is doing. ;)

Well, they can. I'm in Chicago.

Oops. I thought you were home by now for some reason.
