As I read this over, I should have pointed out that this is from a
Front-Page-Lead article, complete with graphics, on the "blackout" that
occurred yesterday in the northeast.

Subject: Explanation of electricity
In case any of you were wondering, the way electric generators work is all
explained in an AP article in this morning's paper.
It states, "Force - such as falling water or expanding steam - is converted
to electric charge, which electrons carry through wires."
Some days I feel like we are fighting a losing battle (other days I am sure
of it). But, I guess it just points out the fact that we will always have
work (no pun intended) to do.
