The sun has had three major solar flares on its surface in the past two days that have affected communications on Earth and could send a shockwave through Earth this Friday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The “solar events” caused brief blackouts in high frequency communications when they struck, twice on Tuesday morning and once this morning, all between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. EDT.

I’m in the middle of reading “One Second After”

I read it last month. A very good story. It'll wake ya up for certain.

I now have Faraday cages for all my elecs.

Wrong month. But I do hold an affection for Friday the 13ths. ;)

“The Bees are dyin’, man. The Bees.”

And the Bee Gees are trying to Stay Alive.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk
I’m a woman’s man, no time to talk
Music loud and women warm
I’ve been kicked around since I was born

And now it’s all right, it’s okay
And you may look the other way
We can try to understand
The New York Times’ effect on man

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Feel the city breaking and everybody shaking
And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive

Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive
Ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin’ alive
