On the other hand, if you live where I do, you have tons of above-ground wires that the town is too cheap to put underground. There are also tons of trees. And during storms, the wires break under the weight of ice, or get smashed by broken-off tree branches. And then, of course, you get other power outages.
And ice storms. God, I hate ice storms. I remember an ice storm when we didn't have heat or electricity for five days. Neither did most of the rest of the state.
And it's freakin' January. It should be cold.
It should. But it still looks like November, doesn't it?
