Officials weren't exactly definitive or detailed on the reason for the power outage on Saturday night. As we sat in the dark wondering if we were going to actually get a newspaper published, someone joked that perhaps an angry, homeless squirrel threw himself into a transformer to protest the loss of his tree, cut down by work crews, ironically, to prevent such power outages.
Hey, it seemed funny at the time. I guess you had to be there.
