  • America has finally found the infamous and elusive WMD - the Weapon of Mass Destruction.  It's the Mass of 50 million Americans who simultaneously turned on their air-conditioning Thursday afternoon and precipated the Destruction of the Northeast power grid.  As Pogo once said,



    And you know what?  I think a whole heap of Northeasterly Americans found OUT last night.  No, they didn't find 'something' out--they literally found 'OUT'.  They found it was lighter still OUT on a moonlit porch than in a darkened house.  They found and met neighbors they were barely aware of discovering the OUT of doors anew--playing ball in the yard instead of watching TV, taking a walk around the block instead of playing video games.  They found the starlit sky OUT in the backyard brighter than one they've ever seen (and may ever again see) even deep within dense areas of urban buildup.


    And it's a shame that as the lights started coming back on across the Northeast today, these same peeps were losing OUT once again on that more direct connection with Nature and Neighbors they had a mere glimpse of last night. 


    ...Just one brief shining moment that was known as The Black-OUT.
