08.03.06: start me up...shut me down...

ConEd -- Manhattan's power supplier -- is urging all business and residents on the East Side to power down unessential appliances. Apparantly they're having some problems with the power lines. We've already been told that we may have no power to the office building later today -- in which case, SNOW DAY! In August, no less.

On the other hand, "snow day" in 104-degree weather (112-degrees with the heat index)? Not so fun. I'll stare at my blizzard pictures and look at a real snow day!
