Nice, clean images.
I didn't know about heli cable cutters, but they certainly make sense. Those
poor wires are so vulnerable. We had a 2
hour+ outage Sunday afternoon:
"The loss of service was an outage that left 5,800 Berkeley customers without
electricity around 5 p.m. Sunday, which
was caused after Mylar balloons became tangled in power lines . . ."
Came back on shortly after 7pm, which meant the satellite DVR missed the first
part of a couple of TV shows. Both were
on cable channels that repeat endlessly, so I just deleted them and they will
be picked up within a day or two.
