It's a Conspiracy, I tell Ya!

     So much for sleeping in this morning. I was awakened about a quarter after 7 (yes, AM) by a series of muffled bangs, and the Shark AI repeatedly telling me it was charging (there's a distinctive set of chimes). I looked at the alarm clock, and it was dead. Power was off, and after several attempts to come back on was staying off. For a large part of Frankfort. After waiting a while with no restoration, I walked to the end of my street and could see that the traffic signal at the intersection of US 60/US 421 was not only out, there was a city police van parked there with its blue lights on. There was also a bucket truck with city utility markings parked at the entrance to my neighborhood. I didn't see anyone at either vehicle. I started to walk to the bridge to downtown, to see if the light on the other end of that was also out. However, by that time the signal at US 60/US 421 was working and the cop van was gone. The utility truck was still there. I never saw anybody working on the lines.
