Purposely turning the electricity off in the Denver area...
... high winds "are fire hazard" for power lines.
Ever since Xcel got blamed for the Superior fire a couple of years ago.
There's a regular in another forum I frequent who often mentions "Verna" wanting to go on vacation (or something like that) and he doesn't...
or vice versa
... and I'm starting to think there is no Verna, but either a convenient excuse or a purposeful foil character.
