Like an old man, Empire Electric can't seem to keep it up!

Power outages, no matter how infrequent, have become more and more problematical in 2016 mainly due to everyone's great dependence on digital devices.. And so it was that on May the 15^th, 2016 at 9:58:22 AM a one second power loss wiped out everything I had done in the way of work on the computer that morning. Sure, I was able to recover a lot of it due to auto save, but that's not the point. The point is that having a power company keep the power up and running ALL THE TIME is a very important, some would say crucial, feature of their job description. Over the years, I've found that the Empire Electric COOP is not always up to that challenge.
