It was 5 years ago today that the ‘Blackout’ occurred…..were you living in Toronto at the time?  I was living and working in Ottawa at the time.  I happened to be on the air…..our station had a giant diesel generator set up for such emergencies.  On one hand it was good, we had a/c at the station, on the other, we were still working:)  What were you doing? 

 Once we realized it wasn’t terrorism, I thought it would be fun for a day or so…..and it went on and on and on….the food in the freezer had to be consumed and dealt with.  I also realized, as maybe you did, that I have NO plan to deal with such emergencies.  No serious stock of food, water or necessary things….other than the normal stuff one keeps.  My candles smell like vanilla, not emergency…..did the ‘Blackout’ change anything for you?  Did you create or maybe you already had an ‘emergency preparedness kit’? 

 Use the work blackout for some extra bonus points.

 Thanks for stopping by!

Have fun if you’re headed to the Bills game tonight!
