Literally, we need electricity on the NE end of Portland, out between 60th and the 100's, from Stark to Halsey. It's been out all day! We're at Mercury Studio now wondering if the fridge will have usable food when we return. Of course it went out while I was on the computer so I yelled at my Mac for a minute until I realized Car Talk wasn't coming out of the radio. I'm sorry, G3.

Someone's siphoning off electricity to use for their own ends. Or maybe the Mt. St. Helens blast has something to do with it.
