FAO Theo. Are you still in the dark?

Snapped tree branches and power lines left about 80,000 FirstEnergy customers in the Cleveland area without power Sunday. About 54,000 customers were still without power on Monday, and some will have to wait until Tuesday to get power back.

Northeastern Ohio was hardest hit, with 21 inches of snow in North Royalton, 15 in Solon and Tina Adams' 18 in Chardon. Cleveland got 12.4 inches overall, including 1.6 inches Monday morning. Dozens of school districts closed in the area Monday because of slippery roads.

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

I couldn't get organized in time to see "Downfall," so I went to see a dumb flick at Valley View just to pass the time. "Hostage" with Bruce Willis. My power was back on when I got home! Was relieved.

Re: I hope he has plenty of these...

I never end up lighting candles because I hate to f*** nice candles up! hahaha

I have like 56 flashlights and battery powered lanterns of all varieties because my dad always throws in that sort of thing at Christmas, along with knives and first aid kits and dynamo powered radios that you crank to charge, and pretty much everything one will need when hell gets overcrowded and zombies attempt to take over the earth.

The dude loves buying flashlights. I don't know what to do with them all.

But I had to go a whole day without playing any Spektor because my CD was in my CD Changer and I couldn't open it with no power. Life is so, so cruel to me. But I survived.

Yeah, candles can be dangerous as well.

That is a lot of flashlights. Your dad must own stock in Energizer Holdings, Inc. Haha.

Glad to hear that you are with power now.
