    I love it! Having lived in NYC for 30 years I can relate to every word. One day we came to work and had no electricity. In truth, the thieves who stole our copper wires actually had it easy this time because they were just strung up across the utility room after the previous wires were extracted from the conduit.

    I love history and this is great fodder for that love.
