Power Woes

As if things weren't bad enough, another fire at a North Phoenix power station has taken out a transformer.

Of course, the conspiracy theories are abound. Channel 5 news is implying that strange lights spotted over the Palo Verde Nuclear Power Plant during a recent outage may have had something to do with it. The buzz in the office says Al Qaida is to blame. My other half thinks eco-terrorists are involved.

All I know is that the rolling blackouts are now practically inevitable.

My co-worker and I are hoping they start with our office.

Funny that I asked you earlier in the year if you had rolling blackouts in Phoenix. You said no problems here. Hmmm... maybe I have special powers. hehe :)

You did, I thought about that too!

You must have jinxed us... :)

At least our problems will be solved when the transformers are repaired/replaced. California has MUCH bigger problems on their hands.
