Power Down


I know it is a First World problem, and that complaining about it makes us seem spoiled, but the power supply at Rural Ways is frequently interrupted.  Power "bumps" are routine, and the odd 12-hour outage happens several times per year.  It is hard to know what is going on, but this could be part of it:  Some of the hundred-year-old wooden poles need to be replaced.  This one snapped off yesterday at ground level and replanted itself six feet away.  The power surged, but stayed on, and the power company fixed the problem with a boom truck.  I hope they have a lot of trucks.
