Re: Major Power Outage

[Tony Randazzo <nova828@yahoo.com>]

Pretty much the same story in Bangor.  The only
station that went to network coverage was WABI, but
even they went to thier local 5:30 news, filled with
nothing but fluff BS stories designed to fill space
between thier 18 commercial breaks for all the local
ad money they can get. WLBZ is doing the same thing,
while WVII is showing an episode of Friends.  Im
watching CNN now, and wow, am I ever glad to live im a
small city like Bangor.  Imagine what it must be like
for people stuck in the subways right now?  Ill take
sitting home watching TV and writing e-mails over that
any day...
