We're runnin' into a problem at work with the milk supply. Seems we're only getting skim and half-n-half. There's a trick that I've found how to get "regular" milk - whole-ish - outta the goods on hand:
Mix the two. Start w/ some skim, then add half-n-half until the color ain't blue and see-through.
Good enough for cereal, yo.
Tonight - Orbit Room.
bye-ee!

Hi pals! Are you enjoying the weather? I'm in that not-so-enviable mode of working six out of seven days in the week - each one while at work being in the high 70s and sunny - and the one when I'm not at work (read: in my back yard) is cloudy, windy and too cool for a Tshirt. Poor me!
Tonight - Club Deluxe.

Here's an old press release from PG&E:
TNSC Robot and Linkey Loo Robot both remember this very well. We remember it because the whole "no power" thing meant only one thing to us: COFFEE CRISIS.
The barnyard where we worked had fairly decent coffee but was brewed in an electric coffee system, and thus offline. The coffee kart down in the lobby suffered the same setback. Sure you could get bagels and OJ, but lattes, cappys and regular cups of joe were unavailable. Linkey Loo Robot, assessing the situ in his caffeine-deprived mode, as it was, came up with a wicked solution: Gas! "Gas?" I asked. "Yes! Gas!" he said. "A gas stove can boil water and I know where there's a gas stove closeby!" "Brilliant!" I yelled and we ran for his car.
After a quick push-start, we bolted for the place with a gas stove ... hoping that his hunch was true and that SLOW CLUB would be the coffee oasis he imagined. And luck was with us, as were all the street lights (because they were out), and when we made the turn off Potrero onto Mariposa Street, we saw a short line at the door to Slow Club. That could mean but one thing: Coffee.
And coffee it was. Hot, bitter, delicious, life-sustaining coffee. The staff at Slow Club were being very fair and not gouging us with disaster-inflated prices, and they did us ALL a service by limiting each customer to two large cups. LL Robot and I got two each and shared with our unfortunate brothers back at the hog farm where we worked.
The day was salvaged by LL Robot's quick thinking and Slow Club's Wolf range. Hoo-ray.
This look back is brought to you by tonight's venue: - Lucky 13. The SF one... NOT the Alameda one.
bye-ee!

Here's an old press release from PG&E:
December 8, 1998
At approximately 8:15 a.m. today, a major outage originated at PG&E’s San Mateo Substation. The outage affected approximately 375,000 customers from San Mateo north to, and including parts of, San Francisco.
The cause of the outage was simple human error, which then triggered a complex sequence of events.
The Mayor’s office of San Francisco and the various department heads for the City have provided both guidance and assistance in ensuring San Francisco residents and businesses come back on line as fast as possible. With the full cooperation of the City, we have been able to restore power safely, effectively and quickly.
Full restoration of power to affected customers was completed this afternoon by 2:15 p.m.
