Skyline got half a day today due to another power outage. Interesting how they seem to be loosing power more often then not.

When I saw the headline, at first I thought that Trader Joe's was affected. Looks like some doctors' and physical therapists' offices and the university were affected, but NOT the Lamp Post Plaza businesses.

When I saw the headline, I thought it might be related to the brief (2-second) outage we had near Earhart and Waldenwood around 7:30 pm last night. However, the timing doesn't seem consistent with that.
