Power Problems

An unexpected power outage kept me from my usual blogging time tonight, so I'll save it for later...

PECO (Philadelphia Electric Company) had an automated message telling me that "tree interference" was the cause of two outages today. The first at about 4:30 lasted just about 3 hours. The second at 9:00 PM lasted until just after 11:00. It's totally a First World Problem/White Whine, but it not only threw off my schedule, it totally screwed up my DVR. 

I know - Heaven forbid I should have lived in the 1800's and been forced to read and write by candlelight. But come on, people. This is the 21st Century. Shouldn't we have wireless electricity by now?

More, anon.
