Time to live up to the blog name
It was not my intent to turn Eclectic Amateur into the “All Gene Robinson,
all the time” channel. It’s done (<a
href=”http://mcj.bloghorn.com/74″>dissembling by Frank Griswold to the
contrary), and there’s nothing to do but mourn. And wait to see
what the October meetings bring, but that probably won’t matter to me,
no matter what the Primates decide or what happens to ECUSA.
On to other topics!
Yes, I was here when The Lights Went Out™. Minor adventures,
finally got my generator working but not in time to save most of the
freezer items. Nothing serious. Detroit did not spontaneously
combust or otherwise descend into chaos, much to the chagrin of
newshounds worldwide.
NOAA has a very nice page with <a
href=”http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories/s2015.htm”>images of the
blackout from space. Here’s an annotated view:

I’m impressed at the lights in Albany; must be from the generator that
Senator Clinton had running. 
Also, I found an <a

and online picture of the <a

that I blogged back in May:

Comments have been eliminated, because (a) I never got Haloscan
properly integrated with Blogmax anyway, and (b) I never got any
comments anyhow. I’ll hope that’s because of (a) and not because I’ve
never written anything comment-worthy.
