My lights (in Brighton) didn't flicker in any way that I noticed, but my Xfinity router spontaneously rebooted itself around 10:30am. With all this water and electricity falling out of the sky yesterday and today, I suppose these things can be expected.

Maybe I should join the cat under the bed after all...?

South End - I'd just gotten in the elevator when it stopped suddenly and took a moment to restart.

...the official start of Slow News Days, but apparently I was mistaken.
