Today begins day 4 without power.
Was talking with the Cowtown Power guys in line at the White Castle this morning.
Learned a lot about why some people have power and others don't.
Most people can get Cowtown Power but just keep AEP as their service. The ones with power on are likely Cowtown Power customers.
Since they have far fewer customers, they can actually service and repair them much faster than AEP can even remotely begin to deal with their massive customer base.
Hence, those with Cowtown Power are lucky and can once again shit with a light on, look at pr0n on the internets, and do laundry.
Of course... I have AEP.

Alas, no pr0n for you. Not even the good micronaut kind.
(Also, damn you for igniting my Micronaut interest again after so many decades of dormancy. Now I can't stop looking at King Atlas and the Green Baron...)
