We hear the power's out on 15th Ave this morning. Seattle City Light estimates it'll be back up by noon; they found a tree growing into a powerline. (That seems like a pretty fast-growing tree, to us, but we're not experts.) The outage area is from E Roy to E Pine, and from Summit to 29th, affecting about 4,000 people. We had thought the power outage might be storm-related, and this whole "tree, growing" angle sounds like "dog bites man." Sigh. UPDATE: "Crew has been able to isolate the problem and restore power to about 3,717 customers. There are approximately 400 customers still waiting for the crew to finish its work. The outage was caused when a large tree branch fell across a main feeder line."

Why do you judge so harshly. The tree and electric pole are probably in some romantic love affair, and you're sitting here passing judgment like a house mom from suburban Birmingham in 1957.
You're right, Troy, you're right. It's not theft if it's given freely. I take it back.
The trees are taking back civilization! Glory be! Glory be! Look at that tree, reaching its wonderful branch up to cut the power and bring us back to mother earth.
But one thing: mother nature doesnt have chain saws.
Wait.... I just realized-- what if it's really just a ploy by the mole-people to steal our electricity for their giant "upwards drilling machine?"
