We beat the cocksuckers. I took everything I had plugged to my power backups and hooked them to my dvrs. They both actually ran for an hour and a half for recording.

But, we don't have HD on demand except for movies. It would have been until Wednesday before we could see these shows in HD.
We also had all our candles lit and ready. It was funny at 9:00 when the power was shut off and all the neighbors went outside of the "dark" houses wondering what was going on.
