Precisely -- there are only so many repair crews to go around and, like it or not, the squeeky wheels get the grease.

We, too, have the "smart" meters but it's easy to make the call so I take the added precaution.

No one else on the sidewalk with me that night had called Pepco, until I urged them to do so.
