Tony is quiet on this one. A links you have saying this for a minute. I wonder how Amazon feels about this major power outage?

No thats not the agenda this go round.. It was obviously a squirrel that natted his way into the catacombs of the substation and chewed on a 120kV cable nibbling Hartsfield into darkness!...

You seem to have issues with just about every aspect of life here.

That's the beauty of the U.S., in that there are so many options!

Perhaps you would be much happier back in the practically-perfect-in-every-way Puget Sound area.

In the Puget Sound, there is no crime, unicorns are everywhere, and Bernie Sanders has solved all their problems.
