Underground killer

Once again courtesy of NV Energy, I have a dead DVR. NVE killed the first one several years ago when I was living in a very old house with old wiring, but new-ish power-surge bar.

Today, NVE killed its replacement, in my apartment.

Power went off for around an hour at 11:30 a.m.-ish. Back on, everything's fine.

Power went off and on at 2:40 p.m. Afterward, DVR's dead. It's hooked to a very expensive Radio Shack power bar.

The biggest laugh: utilities at the apartment complex are underground.

There was a refreshing windstorm today, clocking 55 mph at the Reno airport.

Again, underground utilities.

Power went off last month at the leading edge of a windstorm, which also managed to take down a tree on the far side of the apartment I'm in.

Consider this sentence a string of curses, accompanied by spitting and shouting.  And throwing things.
