So if I disappeared on you last night it's because at 10-ish the power went out for most of the west end of Toronto. Actually it's a pretty huge zone and I'm right smack in the middle of it - no heat, no power, no light. It turns out we only had one candle and a handful of small flashlights.

Oops? Anyways, hopefully it'll be back up later today and in the meantime I've run away to the nice warm reference library (outside the zone) where there is free internet and heating and working toilets and power and food and stuff. Oh, Reference Library. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

But man, soon I'm going to have to eat something.

Did I mention it's -24C outside? And somewhere below freezing in my house?
