Watch your wallet: another Duke power outage

Wow, it's been what, a whole 2 weeks?

The power didn't completely go out here (for a change), but I know I detected the lights briefly flickering.

And no, there was no storm going on when this happened. Not even any wind. So what's the excuse this time?

If local governments don't award the electricity franchise to someone else after this, then we should seriously consider launching a recall effort against some of our "elected" officials. (As if there's not enough reason for that already.)

  1. IMHO it might be easier listing all the times when the power _isn't_ off. This seems to happen a lot if your neck of the woods.
