This morning at 7:15 we were startled awake by a god-awful bang right outside, and I heard an assortment of clicks all over the house as everything electrical turned itself off. A few seconds later they all came back on, but it wasn’t until half an hour later that we found out what happened, when a truck from the electric company came by. It turned out a squirrel had electrocuted itself on the air switch up the power distribution pole next our house, and the bang we heard was the switch blowing itself open when the squirrel shorted the wires across. Later today I’ll have to go out and bag up the scorched carcass to go into the trash.
