Saturday’s wicked wind storm that knocked over trees and utility poles (not to mention had my cats running frantically about the house) has left more than 62,000 people sans power, KOMO News reports. “Outages on Monday morning stretch from Whatcom County down to Olympia” and it sounds like it may take up to two more days until power is restored.

If you haven’t yet read it, I tried the new Guitar Hero Live last week and it was swell. The next iteration in the GH franchise officially launches on October 20. (And yes, I spent my weekend trying to regain my expert status at Guitar Hero II. It didn’t happen. [Yet!])

A political stunt insulting to all Ohioans? That’s the reaction from several Ohio politicians after the Obama administration has opted to rename Alaska’s Mount McKinley–named after the 25th president and Ohio native William McKinley–to Denali. Denali, the AP reports is the Athabascan word meaning “the high one,” and is what Alaskans have informally called the peak for years, only the federal government has not officially recongnized that moniker. Renaming the 20,320-foot-tall mountain exemplifies support for Alaska Natives and shows “the strong support of the Alaskan people,” said Interior Secretary Sally Jewel. Is it an insult to people of Ohio? Well, according to the White House, former President McKinley had never visited Alaska, so this former Ohioan says not so much.
