A couple of weeks ago, about 16,000 people (including yours truly) were without power in East Austin for several hours.

The culprit? A poor snake entered a substation and slithered when it should have slathered. When asked what kind of snake, Austin Energy officials responded with one word: “Crispy.”

(OK, I made up that quote. It was actually a rat snake.)
