Yeah, seems some have lots to burn.

Oh no! I was in the middle of responding to you when the lights went out. Damn! I hope we don't lose power.

It's cold tonight. Well only 36, not as bad as it has been. I was at work then went to meet a few friends tonight, so my heat has been set at low. I just turned it up a bit when the lights came back on. I figured I would try to get the temp in my apartment up in case we lose it again!

Old man winter is not amusing this year~
