3.5 hours after I posted this statement, and about 15 minutes after my previous post, our power went off, again. It was overdue, as the last time was about 10 days ago. So I watched a movie "I Married a Monster From Outer Space", which I hadn't finished from the last power outage.
Control of the Texas power grid was sold many years back to greedy types (hell, the board of ERCOT, which controls the grid, all lived out of state when everything went down during the "Great Texas Freeze", 3.5 years back), who never seem to fix the grid. Just ask those in Houston.
Funny thing, our power goes off so often, you'd think there was major construction, fires, floods, something within 20 miles of my house, but 99% of the time, nothing.
But, this time, I think it was a squirrel commiting suicide on the transformer safety mechanism near my house (I heard the pop). But I still had to rant, as our power goes off 100x more than it should.
