Like to know the back story on that one. Appears that the tie backs weren’t attached, at least most of them. Hell of a ride to demise for the operator in the cab🙁. Similar happened here in western Washington a couple of times within the last ten or so years. One had an improperly built base and another fell during a dismantal.

Location: India during a hurricane. Crane falling

You forgot...Storm Restoration fee, a real-life fee, residents of Louisiana have to pay to to cover the costs of the restoration of electrical infastructure after the various hurricanes of the recent past.
And DISTANT past. Once on your bill it never goes away.
I seem to remember also a 1$ charge listed as "light bulbs for the blind". Back in the 80's, it was.....
Had to be a team effort between La Power and Light (now known as Entergy) and the ever-corrupt state govt.
 
Received an email from the local power company informing us rates would increase 11 percent in January (they did) and to expect another increase in the spring. Increases are to cover 2022 fuel costs. For some reason I'm thinking if fuel magically dropped to $0.99 per gallon for the next five years, we would not see a decrease.

I called the various fees Because We Can fees.

However, do not consider any of my comments meaning to disparage the men who go out in the middle of serous storms to restore our power. If these fees went directly to the pay of these fine gentleman, I would gladly pay it double. Good men, doing some serious work in very serious shit.

Lineman of Louisiana….Thank You!

I don't know how much of a percentage my utilities have gone up, but we're looking at about a 35-40% increase on the monthly bill.

Not odd at all, especially to anyone that has cats. My cats will take absolutely any opportunity to lay on a soft/warm surface. Doesn’t matter if it’s a lap, sunny spot next to a window, I’m sure they’d lay on my dead body until I started to smell too bad
 
Then they would eat you when they got hungry
Yes, I don’t doubt that at all
My cat is johnny on the spot on folded laundry fresh from the dryer
This is another one. One of ours will burrow herself into the middle of any pile of laundry that is still warm when it is taken out. Doesn’t matter if it’s just plopped in the floor or in a basket
