Statement that is supposed to make me feel better but does no such thing.
From today's Richmond Times-Dispatch: "Though Dominion [Virginia Power] declined since Isabel's hit to estimate when electric service would be restored, Sunday the company said it thinks that at least 75 percent of its Virginia customers should have their power turned on again by Thursday." Um. Okay. So right now, almost exactly two-thirds of Dominion customers in Virginia have power. (In Richmond, it's only about 45 percent.) Assuming that they hit 75 percent by the end of Thursday, that means that of Virginia customers who do not have power right now, such as Kim and I, only 25 percent -- in math, (75%-67%)/67% -- will have their power back by Friday morning. Ugh.
And, while we're at it, fun with extrapolation: Let's assume that o'er every three-day period, Dominion Virginia power can give power to 25 percent of then powerless customers. That means that two weeks from today, of Virginia customers who do not have power right now, such as Kim and I, there will still be more than 25 percent -- in math, 75% to the 14/3 power -- who will still not have back their power. Ugh ugh.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
