Good old z-lib. I like that project.

There was a modest storm that blew passed this area last week.  
The local repeater for one particular OTA TV channel went out  
for a whole week. Initially, I missed hearing/watching the  
evening news.  But then it was rather nice to have peace and  
quiet around the house.  I didn't even bother with the news on  
the radio.  After a week, when the tv came back to life, it was  
just doom and gloom and bad shit going on.

+1   Good attitude!
