Sometimes I just hate living in this town

Yesterday, we get notice in our local newspaper that the Village of Mohawk is going to have a scheduled power outage for routine maintenance tonight from 9:00 PM until 10:30 PM.

Forget the fact that it is primetime and the only real good night for TV (Deadwood and Entourage). But, when people are still awake and it's dark outside, they are turning off the lights. Wouldn't a better idea be to do it at 1 or 2 AM? But we wouldn't want to keep our Village workers who work from 9 AM - 2 PM up that late. Or, get them up that early.

So, I am taking a couple of my power backups, hooking them up to 2 DVRs and crossing my fingers. Who knows, one may run a DVR for an hour and the other for a half hour. And, I am still trying to figure out what to do for that hour and a half
