Pardon the Interruption

‘Thanks to last night’s storm, we interrupt this day with an unscheduled power outage for your neighborhood.  Nine houses plus your church facility will be impacted.  We will do our best to get your power back on by 1:30 this afternoon.  It will involve two cherry-pickers and a line truck with lots of chainsaws and falling limbs.  We’ll also have to wait for another truck to bring in another pole.  Better yet, let’s change that deadline to 5:30.  Nevermind that it’s already hot and it’s only 9:30 in the morning.  And when you call us, we won’t have any information for you. Oh, did we mention that your well pump is electric and you won’t be able to have any water, either?  Now that we think of it, they won’t get done until 7:30 this evening.  

But we won’t tell you that.  You’ll just have to wait.  Look on the bright side: At least you’ll get to stand outside and watch and you’ll get to meet some of your neighbors.  We’re sorry for the inconvenience.  At least you’ll appreciate your air conditioner when it comes on.

And good luck getting your sermon done today.’

Sincerely, 
The Electric Company (‘Hey you guuuyyys!!’)
