Something Squirrelly this Way Comes

Last night we had some really groovy storms blow through. Lots and lots of lightning and thunder for a couple hours. I lost power multiple times but only for a total of 20 minutes. Some folks near the MCI Center (err make that the Verizon Center) in Chinatown (that's in DC around the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro stop) lost power for hours. A substation had to be shut down before more serious damage occurred there. All those poor folks without AC in the summer time. Not a pleasant thought.

At least it was a good excuse for me to stop mocking the pitifully lame goings on at the 2006 NHL Awards. Lindy Ruff getting coach of the year??? WTF?? He's a whiney nitwit who can't take responsibility for his team, staff or himself! Gah! I used to adore the Sabres but not anymore. As long as that f'tard is there, I'm rooting Against them! Grow up Lindy! Thankfully Martin Brodeur didn't get goalie of the year. Yet another whiner. Sure he's an amazing goalie but he acts like he's precious and fragile. Fussing to the refs any time a skate crosses the crease. Hello! You're a hockey player! Suck it up!!

But I digress. The storms last night were excellent and we're supposed to have them today, tomorrow, Sunday AND Monday!! WooooHoooooo!!
