Power cuts

We get a few around here, perhaps a good two hour one each week, or a couple of smaller ones. With the heat climbing here (it's been 42 quite regularly in the last couple of weeks) the aircons are on longer and a few of the old soviet-era powerstations miss a beat or two.

My flatmate goes to a gym 'round the corner and won't run on the running machines, just in case there's a cut - he's seen what happens when the cut hits - they stop pretty much dead, but the runner shoots forward of course, but only so far - the control unit stops 'em pretty quick :-) Ouch.
