The power came back on in half an hour anyways but I have to say, Catalina, I'm sorry, but FUCK YOU automated City Light phone system.
But not being able to report any kind of emergency to City Light from a cell phone is DEEPLY FUCKED.

..happy new year.. 20011 year of the stooge.
Well someone isn't starting off the new year on a very happy note. No not me I'm fine, but not even 9-1/2 hours into the new year and some guy flipped me off. TWICE. My crime? We went to get coffee and I pulled into a parking space, a regular space and I parked within the lines legally, but I think the guy in the car facing mine had wanted to pull forward instead of backing up. He slammed his fist down on the steering wheel, his face turned all red and he had quite a colorful repertoire of names he was yelling at me. I laughed so hard I think that pissed him off even more and that's when the bird appeared. I threw my hands up in the air in a "what?" gesture and said "Happy New Year to you too!" and then I saw the bird again as he backed up and drove away. I think he may have given me a third bird but I wasn't looking by then. I'm betting he had issues before this per chance encounter. Dude is gonna have a stroke before the year is over if he keeps acting like this.
The problems encountered with telephone follow-up were among a number of issues discussed in the GAO report, but they are the focus of this posting because they are relevant to any research that relies on reaching respondents by telephone. As GAO points out, the National Center for Health Statistics has found that more than 24% of U.S. households use only wireless telephones, not landlines, and work by the Pew Research Center also has found that when survey-takers call only landlines, it can skew their results. Including cell phones in a survey sample adds significantly to the cost and complexity of conducting research.

But I think there must be something else wrong, because I don't have a land line, and my cell has worked to report outages. In any event, it should have rung you through to someone if it didn't recognize your number.
Contact me privately, and I'll see what I can do to fix it so you don't have a problem in the future.
What are everyone's New Year's resolutions?
Mine are to check my voice mail more than 2x a month, and to eat less cheese.
Fnarf, if you're content with gaining that 6 inches in girth, rather than height, I believe I have a strategy that will help you (yes, it's "eat cheese!")
When we were building our house, one of the framers, who was about my height (5'4") was reaching for something, and muttered, "It's times like this I wish I had that extra 6 inches," to which I, of course, replied, "That's what all the guys say..."
And President of Mexico? Personally, I would go with Queen of Sweden, but then I have a bit of a princess complex mixed with an obsession with Scandinavian design.
In line with resolution, am now fixing a grilled sandwich of Quebec cheddar with a dollop of PIcandou goat cheese.
Ha ha, that would be a good one to have on candid camera. Say what?
Was that Washington, Madison, Franklin, Hamilton or the lesser-known (but more alliterative) Charles Cotesworth Pinckney?
Happy New Year to everyone at the Stranger and here on the Slog. You guys keep me laughing (and sometimes crying.....you know WHO YOU ARE!) and I love (most of) you all!!
Best to all through the year (after that, you're on your own, Christ- don't be so greedy).
Despicable me, I was unaware of your health problems, but no matter how short you become I fervently hope that your troubles are all behind you -- and not in order to sneak up on you again, either.
Happy New Year to you all.
The movie I remember Terry-Thomas from is Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines.
Roma, our framer was actually Francois, who was Washington's short but well-hung rarely mentioned assistant, who undoubtedly had much influence, but no glory...sigh.
Gus, if I am Queen, then I promptly knight you, fine sir.
