Funny, everyone on my block was hanging outside and having sort of an impromptu block party....now it's a ghost town.

Sweet, we can go back to never saying anything but \"Hi, how are you?\" to each other. Whew.

HAHA my night was exactly the same. It was a really strange, yet interesting night. With no power everybody seemed to take the time to walk around the neighbourhood, talk to people they would normally never talk to, and through most of it everyone kept a smile on their face.

At about 10:00 when it became apparent this was going to last and most of the meat in my freezer was probably gonna go bad, I had my freind Tanya get it all out of the freezer (which at that point wasn't frozen), and I dragged the bbq to the front lawn and began cooking it up. Some people began coming by with beer and ice, hamburger buns, offering up their propane tanks if I didn't have enough... some of these people are neighbours I don't think I've ever said hello to the entire time I've lived here. So most of us made the best of it.

I'll probably never say hi to them again either.
