Wow, there are like a billion people standing outside on ABC right now. I’m glad I don’t live in New York or any of those cities.
“Homeland security was actually asking us what we knew about what was going on.”
Gotta love the US gov’t, they don’t know what’s going on until the news agencies do :P.
And how do you know it wasn’t an alien spacecraft rev?

My power went out for like 3 minutes. Not too bad. Of course, I didn’t know that the entire frigging NE US was out and I drove to the city, where traffic was lots of fun minus traffic lights! (obviously, we were lucky to be on the edge of the blackout!)=)
