Just letting you all know why I've been scarce over the last few days: we in southern Ontario here in Canada recently had a really bad ice storm that knocked out power for 250,000 - 300,000 homes in the Toronto area. I just got power back up as of yesterday morning, just in time for Christmas. Was without it for 3 days in -15C weather (that's 5 degrees F for you Fahrenheit people).
