The Street Light
We've been going to Italy for the last 10 years on vacation and catching up with relatives.
And for the last 10 years, I've been cursing the really bright street light attached to the house where we stay, for interfering with my use of binoculars and telescope at the odd times when the weather clear ups (on really good nights, I drive up into the mountains for viewing)
So, my brother and his nephews came back from Italy earlier this year, and we were discussing power outages over there, as the houses mainly have 3.4KW going into them. I said to my brother,
"By the way - any idea what that other power box is for in the kitchen, the one next to the main power box that cuts out the power in the house?"
He said,
"Oh - that turns off the street light outside the house".
Cheers,
Renato
