    An out-of-town car charging from an electric pole being front-page news in the local paper the same day it occurs is the most small-town thing ever, and I love it.

    I assume if the transformer had blown the Californians would have had to work off the charges living in the little town, being hilariously angry for the first act month, only to come around, leave after some emotional misunderstanding, but then return just in time to save the town hall from getting bulldozed.
