    Remember when people were taking pot shots at power stations a couple years ago? We’ll probably have more stupid shit like that.

      For your local power utility in Rural America, that’s just your average Wednesday. Somebody gets mad about something and shoots out a couple transformers or yard lights. I’ve even seen someone actually hit and sever the line once, which is actually pretty impressive considering how small it is. Morons with guns.

        We had a guy throw spoiled meat all over the breakers one time. He was mad at us that the power went out and his food in his freezer all defrosted and went bad. He has a substation right behind his house, so he went to town. Real cool dude.
