ok so the News-Press has yet another story on Smart Meter problems..apparently some lady's oven went out after her Smart Meter was installed..instead of resetting the breaker, I guess she called the News-Press to complain...
now I had a Smart Meter installed a few weeks ago...the day after we had a rain storm... while I was on my computer, and I experienced an electrical glitch which shut down my computer and stove clock..then all was well a few seconds later....was it the rain....or the meter??
now I've had electrical glitches before for various reasons..but generally my electric service works just fine unless a bird or something crashes into a transformer, then my electricity is out for hours until SCE comes to fix it....
these utilities are not magic..they are delivered to us by a series of pipes (for water) and conduits for electricity by people working night and day to get it to us...but we are so spoiled that when our lights go out for a minute, we can't deal with it...so we panic and call the News-Press...electricity and water have many of the same properties and where would we be without them? we'd be in the dark, like the News-Press!
it's not the end of the world...when Skeeter Davis sang that gorgeous sad lullaby I fell in love with her...she had a reason to complain....someone broke her heart
but these other ladies couldn't hold a candle to her (get it?)
sometimes the electricity goes out so all you need to do is reset the circuit breaker...if you are changing an outlet, turn the breaker off and always test with a circuit tester to make sure the juice is off..and call an electrician when in doubt...

They've been using smart meters in Europe for almost 11 years now. Of course as any red-blooded teabagging American knows, Europeans cook with coal and live in caves and don't feed frozen fish sticks to their kids.
