But I have no idea if the trains are running yet.
I know the street lights in the area are all blinking red.
I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

Silence means security silence means approval
Useless fact I learned from the magazine section of the Sunday Seattle Times:
The Japanese word katsu (as in tonkatsu or the signs in the U District advertising "chicken katsu") is a corruption of the word cutlet.

OK, traffic will be a bitch and I'm sure it freaked a lot of people out (and probably caused some injuries) but
Lee Sapaden, a spokesman for the county Office of Emergency Management, said the massive power failure was caused after an employee "inadvertenly cut a power cable" at a DWP substation in West Los Angeles.
excuse me while I go wipe the tears from my eyes.

See, this is why backhoes should be banned. And don't give me any of that "if backhoes are banned, only construction workers will have backhoes." I don't care. Darn things are a menace.
