After two consecutive mornings in which the electric power
went out for about five minutes at about the same time of day,
I called PEPCO, the local utility, to ask what had happened.
They gave me only a general answer, to the effect that such
interruptions of power can happen during "load sharing," if I
recall their term. I call it a damn nuisance, since we had to
reset two out of four digital clocks on appliances. In fact,
in the last year we've had to reset these two clocks
several times after coming home from work.

As it happens, up until a  year ago I lived alone and had no
other timepieces than my wrist watch, so I have no way of
knowing if these interruptions occurred in previous years
when I wasn't at home.

Anybody have any relevant details or experiences?
