    Woo, 20 years. Makes me feel old.

    I think I just lazed around the entire time. It was weird breaking out the radio back then. Not sure I even have one now.

      This is why I have typically stuck with moto brand phones they still have fm receivers. I should get an AM radio though.

    Still remember in my teens playing #Starcraft when the power suddenly cut as I was about to save my game lol.

    Still had fun doing other things, including a night walk in the neighbourhood without power & seeing the stars so clearly because there’s no light pollution.

    Who remembers that day? I had a nice long walk home from downtown along lake shore with tens of thousands. It was a pleasant summer day.
