Power company came out today and replaced the old mechanical meter with the
new fancy-schmancy one.

Chatting up the meter-man, I learned:

1. The old meters are going to be junked. Not sold to Mexico or Lithuania
like the 'phone company did with their mechanical central office stuff.
We're talking, oh, one million meters in a city of 5.5 million. That's a
pretty big pile.

2. His quota is 60-100 meters swapped out per day.

3. One purpose is to allow the meter to be read from the street.

4. It is alleged I can check my meter on the 'net. We'll see.

I view Smart Meters with the same suspicion that I have for
OnStar. Perhaps I'm just paranoid? Aluminum foil hats don't
work, it's already been tried.

RAM hats work much better and can be quite stylish too!
My favorites are EM shield undergarments.

I am not a dirt-bag, I am a bag of mostly water, the outer space
alien told me so. 9-)

YOU ARE A DIRTBAG WITH A SWAMP WATER EMULSION HOLDING YOUR GUTS

Dammit! I was hoping to keep that a secret! Privacy is no longer
