It is amazing that these “let the market decide” high rollers object to regulation and government involvement when the dollars are rolling in.
Then magically revert to socialists when the shit hits the fan and the ill gotten gains are threatened.

Or is it fascist not free marketers they are?

Fascism should more appropriately be called corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power.
Benito Mussolini.

The fall is sure upon us in all its force, the colors on the hills seem to be changing by the hour.

We had a little power outage yesterday morning; it lasted for only minutes, none the less I think most of us are all edgy.

I have my computer on an APC back up, I casually shut it down, soon as it was off the power came back on.

I gave it no more though until later in the day, I found out that whatever caused the mornings outage must have been more than a little glitch, extra hydro guys were called in. One, on his way to another community, was hauled off a plane when it landed in Nain. Technical guys most of them.

I am still very uncomfortable with what is happening since the fire. Not with guys on the ground, it is more to do with management, not knowing what hydro is doing to solve the long term electricity supply needs of the town.
It seems there are two portable generators on the way; some land outside the plant is being prepared for these. No news off what is planned for the long term.

The generator I ordered had a nice little trip. It was first delived to St. John’s NL, then had to revert back into Quebec. It did get to Goose Bay quickly after that diversion.
You would think UPS would know the road connections of the province by now, but that does not take into account the human error factor, lot of human error factors play a roll in shipments to Labrador it seems.
I will be a lot less edgy once the generator arrives here, not till next Wednesday now.
