Just so you all know, the Mexico power outage is over and there is a great deal of speculation here that it was an act of sabotage because of the much-opposed privatization of the electrical industry here, whhich has been opposed by everyone from Greenpeace to radical left-wing terrorist groups. Still, kind of spooky, I gotta admit. Good thing I'm not staying here for long!
