A power grab by our animal foes

As the summer heat starts to crank up, it’s prime time for an attack on our power grid. Such an attack in Wichita, Kansas this week was not the work of Chinese hackers or terrorists. It was far more sinister.

According to authorities, a squirrel crawled into an electric substation (knowingly, we assume) and caused a short circuit and a fire. As a result, there were blackouts throughout the city.

They know where to hit us, and they are not afraid of death.
