Morning. I'm late. The power is off and I can't use the work computer.
It's been raining for 24 hours.
Morning, Ed.
We used to get power cuts like that in the UK back in the seventies, I used to love 'em as a boy, very exciting.
We get them here a couple of times a year, but only for an hour or so, though remote areas still have no electric at all, they're connecting everyone up slowly.

Hi Adam.
Power outages are kind of rare because of all of the tree trimming right before Hurricane season started.
Still a fact of life. Though.

This "Got Talent" show is a weird thing.
In the UK recently I understand a dog won it.
There isn't a talented enough human in the UK ?
In our country it's called "Arabs Got Talent", contestants can be from any Arab country but must be Arab, no whites, blacks, Asians etc.
Just a hint of racism ?
And in the USA last night the show was won by a Brit who is already a successful professional in the UK.
Stupid show in my opinion.

Can't watch any of 'em except for the qualifying rounds where people with no talent at all weep and wail as the judges tell them how awful they are.
Years of parents and friends lying to them and saying how wonderful they are.
Hilarious.
It's about money alright.
For the TV companies.

I think beer was classed as a soft drink in russian up untill recently?
Correct for points.
It was only classified as alcohol on New Years Day 2013.
But compared to what most Russians drink it's pretty tame.
Male life expectancy in Russia is only 57 because of their consumption of strong liquor.
