I meant, "electrocution". How the hell did I hit an "s" instead of "o"?

Huh. Alex is now referring to himself in the third person.

[I mean, come on - you know that you'd be tempted to grab a knife and fork.]

Wait, this power line was down for how long, and nobody noticed until they discovered a line of dead animals? Didn’t anyone notice their power was out? And if not, why is the power line there in the first place?

I guess electricity is more of a luxury than a necessity in Montana.

We used to set up ten or more diesel generators to run power for some very large holiday light displays.
The wiring was getting tampered with at night (long story); the area was just too large for the one security guard to watch.

So when I'd get a service call at night, and drive through the displays with my headlights off, and look for the little telltale blue flashes & steam dancing along the wet grass. Next time I'll just look for the pile of deer carcasses.

If it had been during the day, someone unsuspecting, could've easily gotten a
surprise.

Very odd indeed.

The rest of the story:

Sometime during the summer, a dry tree had fallen on the high-voltage line in a steep, isolated area about eight miles up the Pinkham Creek drainage.

"When it hit the line, the wires kind of floated about a foot off the ground," Pitman said, noting that had the line hit the ground it would have knocked out the power. "It was kind of a perfect storm."

Pitman and Tim Thier, the Eureka area biologist for Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks, said that most likely the whitetail deer accidentally walked into the line first. And their carcasses attracted the predators one by one.

And doesn’t it figure that even with my bug-zapper plugged in, I still get eaten by mosquitoes

There is a picture of a roasted brown bear around; have to see if I can find it.
