A ¨Hot¨ Steal

We had no power (this happens frequently) for over a day –somewhat of an inconvenience. We could not figure out why it was taking them so long to fix the power… Word came back last night that someone had fallen a tree onto the power line, and then stole about 1,000 feet of cable. In talking to locals, apparently this happens once in a while. I am slightly confused as to how they got it out. The cable is heavy, typically hauled in by truck, and 1,000 feet is a lot of cable. Things can be different at times down here…
