There's a major storm and power were knocked out in Washington. Derrick happens to be there to bear the brunt of the whole thing. No power and in the freezing cold..
Cannot imagine how terrible the whole thing is. I'm been calling Derrick and the poor boy is still out of power for the next few days..

What's fun about the whole thing is it forces Derrick to buy logs and use the fireplace in his apart. Hee.. A real fireplace le. Well.. his apart has electric heaters, but since no power, he has to use the REAL one lo.. =P Fireplace alwiz gives me a warm cozy feeling.. Fell in love with them when i travelled in NZ during the winter. But the winter in USA much colder, hitting negative temperatures even in the day. Plus with storm, it's even more cold..

Hopefully it will all clear up and everybody in USA will soon get back their power.
