I just can not stop to wonder where are Java blogs of such caliber that goes into such details and are written not by users but by creators.

As soon as sunset it was dark. No lights except for spurious car lights and emergency lighting. Dark streets. Playing scrabble instead of working (or surfing web). Hunting for food and place to see TV. Hunting for candles. Finding place to sleep for those stranded that could not get back to Manhattan.
