I woke up one morning to a power outage and called the electric company. Before the repair guy arrived, I spotted the problem and called to let them know: a raccoon in the transformer. The interesting thing was that the repair guy took care of the whole thing from the ground, with a 20 foot fiberglass pole. Hooked the coon and tossed it off the transformer, removed the blown fuse, installed a new one. It was pretty cool, except for the part about disposing of the fried raccoon.
