It has been so long now that I forgot I was keeping this weblog. Here in Niagara Falls Canada for some reason we were not affected by the blackouts. However, businesses have been told to limit their use of electricity so that when all the generators are turned back on, they won't be overloaded. But stupidity still prevails. I was at both Walmart and Zehrs trying to get some film developed at their 1-hour booths. They were not developing film to save electricity. Yet the air-conditioning was on full blast. What are they thinking? The air-conditioning is a big drain on power, and unnecessary. We can, and should, put up with some discomfort. Here in Ontario, the provincial government runs the liquor stores, beer stores, and libraries. The liquor stores and beer stores were open, the libraries were closed. There are answers and solutions to the problems that caused the blackout in the libraries. There is also an answer of sorts in the beer and liquor store—just get very drunk and the problem will go away.
