Power out

[Rocky]

I was born and raised on a farm in a rural area that didn't have electricity until right after WWII. I remember kerosene lamps very well.
We also pumped water by hand. It was quite a revelation to get lights at the flick of a switch and a water pump.
But I agree, we're all very spoiled with the modern conveniences of daily life that electricity provides.
We rarely lose power unless there has been a storm or some idiot takes out a power pole.
Our utility company is very reliable.

When Carl and I come over there for the protest, I'll bring along an extension cord for you Dave. Then whenever your power goes out, just let us know and I can plug it into one of my receptacles.

Yeah well the way the price of electricity is going this side it may be cheaper for me to pay for a cable from me to you and still pay your poser bill for the month

The thing is this side maintenance on anything that is run by the state just does not happen, when its broken we all stand around with this dumb look on our face and cannot believe that it broke

At least the electricity doesn’t leak out of the cables…
I had an underground water leak, losing 4m³ a day, plumber couldn’t find the leak, had to call out leak detection expert & then dig up my driveway. And all this the day before a long weekend off on my bike.
