When we lived in CA, we had the underground lines and also lived in the same power grid section as a hospital. And we had a local power company. All combined, we very rarely lost power.
I wanna go to Texas.
That's one spunky little girl you've raised. I'm gonna eat her.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Of course, now I need to double-check since I've moved, but I'm pretty sure the only power lines above ground are for buses. (We have these old-school electric buses. [link]

I was, because I hear that's the best way to see some of the landscape. I need to research more though.
Lee, I have a good friend who works at one of the big resort/cruise chains up there. If you'e got dates or any kind of questions I'll run them past her. (She might be able to swing some kind of discount too.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I think we'll probably still have power.
There are lots of scenarios where we could lose power, such as a Con Edison substation getting flooded, or losing high-tension lines coming into the city.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nope.

Which could happen any time! I'm just saying, I have a (low) level of preparedness all the time, and figure that'll do.

Its a Friday and after noon. Go crazy as long as you are not drinking alone at work. That might be awkward.
