Fortunately my power only went out for 24 hours, but there are people who are still without power after the snow storm Friday. I looked on DTE’s website and it says 25,000 are still out of power at this time. DTE says a lot of the damage was caused by strong winds & wet heavy snow breaking those branches & tress falling onto power lines already damaged from the previous storm. DTE expects that 95% of those customer’s service will be restored by the end of today.

Chris Rock finally spoke about the infamous slap Will Smith gave him at The Oscars last year on his live Netflix special over the weekend.
***Warning there is very strong, explicit language used***
According to “Deadline” Chris Rock said the following:
“WIll Smith practices selective outrage … selective outrage because everybody knows what the f*ck happened. Everybody that really knows knows I had nothing to do with that sh*t. I didn’t have any entanglements. An entanglement, for people that don’t know what everybody else will, it is his wife was f*cking her son’s friend. OK. Now I normally would not talk about this sh*t. But for some reason these [n-words] put that sh*t on the internet. I have no idea why two talented people would do something that fucking lowdown — what the f*ck?”
Rock went on to say:
“Why would you do that shit. She hurt him way more than he hurt me. Okay, and by the way he does this. Everybody in the world called him a b*tch. I tried to call the mother*cker …and he wouldn’t pick up for me. Everybody called that man up …everybody called him a b*tch. Everybody, and whose he hit? Me. A (n-word) he knew he could beat, that is some b*tch ass sh*t”
“She started this sh*t. Nobody was picking on her. She said of me, a f*cking grown ass man should quit his job (as the 2016 Oscar host) because her husband didn’t get nominated for Concussion. And then this (n-word) gives me a f*cking concussion”
“What the f*ck, man? I love Will Smith my whole life. I love this (n-word). I saw him open up for Run DMC at Nassau Coliseum. These (n-word) made brand new funk. I love this (n-word). He’s made some great movies I have rooted for Will Smith my whole life. I root for this mother*cker. Okay, and now I watch Emancipation just to see him get whopped. Got me rootin for massa, okay? Now hit him again, massa. Hit him again. You missed a spot massa, you missed a spot.
A lot of people go, ‘Chris, how come you didn’t do nothing back’ How come you didn’t go back that night?’ Because I got parents. That’s why,” he declared. “I got parents, and you know what my parents taught me: Don’t fight in front of white people.” Rock said closing out his special to a standing ovation.
