Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

The electricity puns were OK. @datlas has been known to have quality puns. I defer judgment to him.

Back to electricity songs it is then.

This line's buried in the third verse but it's one of my favorites:

Sparks are flying from electrical pylons
Snakes and ladders running up and down her nylons
Ready to experiment, you're ready to be burned
If it wasn't for some accidents then some would never ever learn

Fred was kind of a nothing burger on the east side of town. 3 inch rainfall was a record for this date but not unusual.

A record, by definition, means that the amount has never occurred on this date before. Thus it's unusual.
