Oh you have to love that Florida weather.  And just when you think you've got 
the random power-outages beat with several strategic UPSes... the power is 
out for 10-20 days thanks to the latest tropical storm.

Well, at least that's a rare one... but the power does drive me nuts.  I used 
to joke that a light breeze would kill the power at the place where I worked.
