I was in Korea. I missed all of the fun stuff that year - blackout, illegal substances temporarily becoming non-illegal, etc.

LAW-LESS!!!

i was hot

you've changed.

Liking this thread. It's great how everyone remembers just what they were up to during the blackout. I have no idea what I was up to three years ago though.

LAW-LESS!!!

no, no drug test.

pffft... I'm out.

kidding... actually have been sending resumes out Ottawa way this week

I've got a hell of a high kick

yeah hats off to all the good folks who stepped up and became an important part of their community during the darkness... met more good people that day than any other I can think of... which is saying a lot

twas The Blackout of 2003

rode it out in Hess Village... if you have to sit in the law-less dark, might as well have lots to drink... ended drinkin in the streets, ordering beers in one bar walk out take it into another... LAW-LESS!

weird thing was you'd think having no stop lights traffic would be a mess but everyone just treated the dead lights like 4 way stops and it actually took me 5 minutes less than it usually does to drive home

had such a good time wanted to petition the province to shut down the grid one random day every summer... surprise holiday day!

sipping beers at home listening to the Coventry simulcast (later at Esau13's, that closet Phish head)

was one emotional sloppy pseudo junkie version of Wading In The Velvet Sea I tell ya (I laughed, I cried, I got another beer)

definitely sounded like some good times being had

drug tests?

thats right! no sex with the fellas and no dairy products!

ah fuck it, its your birthday... do whatever ya want =)

Ollie's Birthday Forum please!

Happy Birthday Ollie... don't do anything I wouldn't do

22hr and counting till we leave for bonfire

wooooooooooohoooooooooooo

have a rockin weekend brother! (and everyone!)

very cool... desert is definitely a place you want to check the night sky from

thus the grumbling

people seem to be grumbling about not having one on the B Boys discussion board, hoping that they'll get a password mailed out by Thurs

congratulations!!

(thought Stn Mountain was being awful quiet lately!)

still should be some meteors tonight, maybe tomorrow too...

didn't spot any myself until about 2 am or so last night, think the later the better (or earlier, if you get up before dawn)

could see them from my backyard in the city (not usually a great vantage for star gazing)... kept looking every direction for a while and almost gave up then saw 2 in a row to the south... set up to watch to the south and saw a few every 2 to 5 minutes or so

might be some stragglers tonight, dunno... if you look for them, look south

fingers crossed seemed to work pretty well for sky clearing... sat, drank beer and watched meteors shower down from 1 - 4 am

neat... shooting star city

its good work if you can get it

congrats guys :thumbup:

cheers to Merv for being one of the only people who tried to honestly report on the bullshit of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq... and standing by his beliefs when the television industry he helped build threw him off the air and out in the street

yeah the guy was rich and didn't need the money but any time you heard him talk about it he looked shaken and hurt by it all

thanks for that, the truly american style entertainments and apologies for how low some of of humanity are willing to go... a big problem with the US is there doesn't seem to be any laws against breaking a worthwhile old man's spirit

never say never

Tonight is a good night to see meteors. Comet dust will rain down on planet Earth, streaking through dark skies in the annual Perseid meteor shower. While enjoying the anticipated space weather, astronomer Fred Bruenjes recorded a series of many 30 second long exposures spanning about six hours on the night of 2004 August 11/12 using a wide angle lens. Combining those frames which captured meteor flashes, he produced this dramatic view of the Perseids of summer. Although the comet dust particles are traveling parallel to each other, the resulting shower meteors clearly seem to radiate from a single point on the sky in the eponymous constellation Perseus. The radiant effect is due to perspective, as the parallel tracks appear to converge at a distance. Bruenjes notes that there are 51 Perseid meteors in the composite image, including one seen nearly head-on. This year, the Perseids Meteor Shower is expected to peak after midnight tonight, in the moonless early morning hours of August 12.
