They're pretty speedy at restoring power here. We'll have 200,000 people without power and it'll be back the following day.
(That's like 1:6 of the entire state's population - and scattered across many, many miles.)
They get lots of practice.
Ste street I live on is one of the main business streets on this side of town. I believe there are only two houses on the entire five miles of the road. There are over a thousand businesses. My property is in fact zoned as commercial property, I bought my house here because there is no noise ordinance where anywhere else in town here between 10PM and 7AM you can not be loud. Where I am I can be as loud as I want any time of day. I remember being at verles jamming in the back yard with Chris on acoustic guitar and the cops showed up at 5 after 10 at night and told us to shut it down. That sucks. That does not happen where my house is, even though I am in town
I'm pretty sure there's no noise restrictions where I live.
At the very least, nobody with any authority has told me to quiet down.
When I first moved in, a neighbor wandered over while we were making noise. I got 'em shitfaced. They didn't complain about the noise.
If you're not dreadfully busy, you could visit linux-tips.us and click a couple of ads. ;-)
I'm sure there's not at all where you live.
I'll click later
