My biggest worry is tripping over the kittens in the dark.

Two years ago, a dark room and a black cat led to 11 stitches in my knee

I had a couple of serious incidents after tripping over my big black dog. And the poor creature thought she did something wrong.

That outage map only lists a single outage, and there are no timezones listed. Are the times in standard UTC or some other provincial timezone?

So he had the power shut off like he closed that bridge in Jersey. So what if you are in San Fran, the mafia oops Christie fans live there too.

Sorry about the power though. Hopefully it will come back soon.

To check it, took all night at only a few miles per hour. He stopped at last place before going under water to SF, where normally you have view overlooking SF, Oakland, east bay, all bridges.

Said he saw a sight never to be seen again, black as ink. Not a single light anywhere.

He was on train during earthquake tracks waving, etc.

I had a studio apartment on MacArthur blvd in Oakland. I got home about 4:30 that day.

I remember after it was over the power out everywhere. Everyone was in the street.
