NOAA today posted online satellite images taken before and after of the historic
blackout of the Northeastern United States, which plunged millions of people
into darkness. NOAA processed the night lights data taken by the Defense
Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP). NOAA archives the data from the satellite.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.

Damn the Quebecois! Let's invade them!
Still, it's nothing compared with the image of North Korea at night.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

That's strange, looks like Columbus is out. We never lost power for more than a few minutes, if that.

I thought Toronto would be way brighter than it was in that photo. Scary how the NYC area is still brighter with the power gone than Toronto is with the power on. Damn!
It's also pretty cool seeing that there's not a single light source in all of Ontario, that is wild. No wonder I could see shooting stars, the milky way, and even some aurora on Thursday night & Friday morning.

Say, do you want it to be a threesome with your wife? Or a foursome with your wife and sister-in-law? I'm up for either.
