I forgot thqt there was a planned power outage today. I'd just finished recording a Simulated Erk episode & was in the process of shutting down the PC when the power outage started.

Later, I was talking to one of my next door neighbours when Old Mate across the road was troubleshooting his meter box.

Me: You know there's a planned power outage, right?

Narrator: He did not know there was a planned power outage.

@erkpod Our last power outage was planned by a crow who got tangled in the transformer just outside my house. Made one hell of a loud bang.
@Ulrich_the_elder I'm guessing it didn't end well for the crow.
