Power Outage

Okay...for one hour today I felt completely helpless and
paranoid of the power outage in Burbank. I thought of the last
news I heard this morning that there was some kind of terror alert
in the LA area and then ... BOOM .... no power ... what was weird
was that there were several other places in LA that had
power outages .. but then ... at 2pm ... Power resumes ...

"Los Angeles Department of Water and Power officials said
the outage was linked to human error at a receiving station
near Burbank. Workers connected the wrong wires, causing
a surge of power that led to shutdowns at three power generating
stations, according to officials."

Thank goodness this was just human error .. rather than
human evil!!
