When the Blackout happened there was a huge interruption in the AMOUNT OF SPAM i got for about 4 days. Damned right I cheered !!! I was very happy that atleast someone was getting their due return for misdeeds.

BUT!!! Then I heard about a young Power lineman from Great lakes Power in Ontario who died from exposure.. after a serious accident that happened while working.. the black out caused an unnecessary death. It was a very sad thing.

The Lineman had lost both of his arms an one leg in an electrcal accident and his body was unable to cool itself in the heat of the blackout. He died in his apartment from hyperthermia.

it was a sad sad day for many ....
