Completely OT-
I just called 911. I think that was only the second time in my life I’ve dialed that number.
Ten minutes ago, while I was sitting right here, I heard an ungodly strange noise. First a ‘pop” like a gunshot then a sustained low roar like a blowtorch. Couldn’t figure where it was coming from. I walk out on the patio to check on my cats, and I see this 2 foot jet of pure heat shooting out of a fixture at the top of a utility pole across the road. Literally spraying electrical “fire” onto the wooden cross bars and pole. It took me about a second to realize that I better call 911. I still hesitated for another beat until I was sure I should call. Fire truck got here a couple minutes ago. Big crowd assembled. I’ll have to wander over and see what’s up.
