We still have weird blackouts at Kennedy and Eglinton. Not quite as many 
as we had when we first came here (it used to be one hours-long blackout 
every month or so), but it's still a bit iffy. We had an underground 
power cable blow near the SRT last week, which was amusingly loud.

We've done okay without UPSs and surge protectors, so far.

And anyway, what's with this crazy country that the power goes out every 
time it rains a bit? We lost power to what the news called a "Severe 
Storm", but what we in Scotland call "Autumn".
