Getting Goosed

Don't tick off Mother Nature:

A goose was to blame for a power outage Wednesday in the Menomonee Valley.

The goose flew into a We Energies power line.

It knocked out power to about 500 customers and zapped street and traffic lights late Wednesday afternoon.

The goose hit the gear at Fifth Street and Muskego.

Power was restored within a few hours.


Either it was a stupid bird that thankfully purged itself from the gene pool, or it had a death wish. In that case it must have been pretty happy with this week's Supreme Court ruling on Oregon's assisted suicide law.
