'tis the season to get electrocuted

i don't know if other cities have this problem, but nyc has a bad track record with metal transformer boxes and other metal things involving electricity at street level becoming live due to corrosion from snow and salt. one woman died two years ago in the east village, and i believe that some dogs have been killed or seriously injured. actually, the real culprit in all this is con edison. hey con edison, i hope my almost $100 per month electricity bill since june will help pay to prevent this problem. now that i think about it, i think that george bush should be blamed because he is driving up my electric bill. anyway, be vigilant out there and always wear rubber soled shoes.
