How could you tell if street lights are out? a few street lights are on - in La Jolla to get on the freeway at Nobel Dr. they were working but that was the only one I saw. Going for sushi - hope they are open. Maybe they want to use up the fish before it goes bad... 26 Qualities That Make Man God-Like: 1: Fearlessness 2: purity of heart 3: Steadfastness 4: Almsgiving 5: Self-restraint 6: Religious rites 7: Right study of the scriptures 8: Self discipline 9: Straightforwardness 10: Noninjury 11: Truth 12: Absense of wrath 13: Renunciation 14: Peace 15: Absence of fault-finding and calumny 16: Compassion toward all beings 17: Noncovetousness, absence of greed 18: Gentleness 19: Modesty 20: Absence of restlessness 21: Radiance of character 22: Forgiveness 23: Patience or fortitude 24: Cleanness of body and purity of mind 25: Nonhatred 26: Lack of conceit |

If it were aliens you would see them all over. If it were an impending nuclear attack there would be air raid sirens, and the entire naval fleet would be pulling out to sea already.
