I know when the power goes out in Wolfeboro at night. No, it's not when a heater turns off. It's when the cottage interior glows brightly at night--illuminated when the neighbor's generator turns on--and ALL their exterior lights go on.
And they're half a mile away!

In olden times, the power in Wolfeboro could go out for hours.
In modern times, the power companies have made drastic cuts of trees and limbs around powerlines; so, what we've gained in convenience has opened the woods for browse for deer. (Increasing herd sizes).
Vistas have opened up: In my drives to Wolfeboro, one can see Moose Mountain and Rattlesnake Island, where no view of either had appeared before.
