I know what you mean. Yesterday alone, we had a power outage for a little over an hour ( and it was 86 outside ) and then a huge, thunderstorm moved into the area, so I couldn't get back on my computer till after 11pm. ( this started at 6 ) ... Try and run a decent game, and mother nature tries to shut ya down. *LOL*

You know the more I hear about this kinda thing the more I believe that there is true a conspieracy occuring that involves the monopoly PG&E and our government. Since this has been brought up, im wondering if other states besides California are experiencing this crummy deal too; it sure sounds like it. Since the weather started warming up PG&E has been going out in selected grids everyday throughout the City, just like after the Enron scandle came to the public's attention and certain contracts ended. PG&E is suppose to be announcing these planned temporary outages, last year they did (for the most part), but this year they have not announced them one single time.

This really fustrates me, as im sure it does to everybody else as well; because they have been given assistance to restore the power to as it was before the situation spiraled out of control. Both business and citizen alike have taken responsiblity to reduce their consuption of electrical and gas in hopes of lowering their bills. In addition the government has recieved hundreds of millions in penalty fees and fines, though none of that has been returned to the consumers for the inflated costs they have been paying for during the last several years, (it use to cost me 15-25 a month to keep my home cool during the summer, now it has risen to 80-120 a month!!!!!!) Yet PG&E is able to keep making excuses, this gas main blew, this plant exploded, BS the public their stupid anyways, we BS cause we can, we BS the public bush said that we can! I hate this junk, its time for the charade to end; really. Really, its been what approximately 5-years now since this all went down orginally?... did I put enough emphasis on how much I hate them?

P.S. Watch out for those black helicopters!! [|)]
