that on to multiple cities over about the last 50-60 years on every
continent but Antarctica. Yikes, indeed.

I can remember when in the late 1960's during the the north- and southbound
migrations through Toronto, as a result of corporate policy to avoid bad
press, it was part of a night-maintenance workers' nightly duties in the
downtown area to collect the hundreds of dead and injured migrants littered
around the bases of each of the office buildings before those snoopy
bird-nuts showed up to stir up trouble. In vain, the story broke anyway and
the large corporations bought themselves a peck of bad press. And the
'Lights Out' movement was born.
