That's a hydro shutdown. I don't know if it's a case of pole fires, Manitoba Hydro hiring scabs who don't know their red from their black wires, or I Been Eating Weiners (IBEW) causing shenanigans, but areas in Winnipeg have been having a lot of outages lately. It happened again the other night around 1:30 and the power only came back around 4. Today Hydro's coming out between 12 and 5 to fix the problem. I am not very pleased with the situation but I am going to blame Brian Pallister because he is a worthless Tory and a bully. When in doubt, blame the Tories. That's what works for me and it will work for you too.
Big kudos to Randall Munroe and XKCD for helping me understand quantum mechanics (sorta). First I encountered the concept of matrices, which would have wrecked me had it not been for 'Matrix Transform'. Then I encountered Alice and Bob (A system and B system in the book), but I've encountered Alice and Bob in a piece about cryptography. I feared Physics when I was in high school but books like 'Quantum mechanics' by Leonard Susskind & Art Friedman don't scare me as much as make my brain feel like a wad of soft serve that wants to slide out my ears. Not the worst experience.
It is supposed to be a nice day out, so I'll drop off a library book (or two, depending if I finish 'Qm' today) and go for a walk. I won't get much simming done unless Hydro gets it all done early. Of course, they would need to get here early. Who's to say they'll be done by 5? They better be done by then. Anyway, as I won't get much simming done this afternoon, here are some pics to comfort me.
A vampire and a fairy are my main game these days. They had a vampire son today. I'll have pics of that in a while. Stay safe, ye insomniacs.
BYE.
