| Well NY is being tested again along with many of their neighbors. The northeast power grid in north america went out an hour ago. Parts of Canada (Toronto and Ottawa) and Detroit MI., Clevland Oh. are also down. People in N.Y. can be seen walking home or to ruscorps house (not sure which) in the middle of the streets. Many can be seen giving the standard NY finger greeting to auto drivers that are blowing their horns at them.
Good luck all you citizens of north eastern america, your day is really starting to suck. Ruscorp if you get to L.A. I have friends that can hide you. | |

| Well here in MA we are lucky.
I talked to my brother who works in Chinatown a little bit ago and he is walking back to Brooklyn. The wireless cells must be overloaded right now though because I can't get through now. | |

| Just got through he is back in Brooklyn and safe thank God.
Hope everyone else is doing well. | |

I'll have you know I have an alibi. I was stuck on a South Ferry bound 1 local stuck between Canal and Franklin Streets when this happened. 
Wasn't me (this time). | |

| I don't know, the lengths we, the Dublin crew actually have to go, just to keep Ruscorp quiet for a few hours.
Hope the Flask of tea(we know how much you love tea  ) and Doughnuts we left for you were appreciated Ruscie. | |

| Hey he checked in, I guess power must be restored. Funny how you just happened to be on a boat when the failure occured. :} | |
|

| Well we knew your VCR wasn't working, so it was the best we could come up with, how was the sheep afterwards.
Apparently the Mayor of New York has said that non essential workers should think about having the day off.
So after much thought I've decided that I'm not essential to the day to day running of New York and have took the day off. | |

Easy for him to say, he's worth more than 1000 ruscorp's. I bet he's got his A/C pumping in his Upper East Side apt. even though he tells everyone else not to do it. | |

That's what I was thinking.
Glad to hear everything is alright.
My brother's power was out all night and wasn't restored to about 3 pm this afternoon. | |

Hehe, screw that. Power came on and I turned on the central air. | |

| ruskie, i think you've pushed that 486 as far as it can go. a new computer would be better in the longrun. | |
