@MyBGE - planned outage at this time, then notified it’s canceled via email, and then coincidentally power goes off today at exactly the time of the canceled planned outage, and estimated restoration is exactly when planned outage was due to be completed? What gives?

@SteveHarney @SteveHarney I'd love to see something in the 5% range but I'm growing doubtful. And maybe that's a good thing.

On Hats, Haircuts, and Tattoos

I think about decisions in three ways: hats, haircuts, and tattoos.

Most decisions are like hats. Try one and if you don't like it, put it back and try another. The cost of a mistake is low, so move quickly and try a bunch of hats.

Some decisions are like haircuts. You can fix a bad one, but it won't be quick and you might feel foolish for awhile. That said, don't be scared of a bad haircut. Trying something new is usually a risk worth taking. If it doesn't work out, by this time next year you will have moved on and so will everyone else.

A few decisions are like tattoos. Once you make them, you have to live with them. Some mistakes are irreversible. Maybe you’ll move on for a moment, but then you'll glance in the mirror and be reminded of that choice all over again. Even years later, the decision leaves a mark. When you're dealing with an irreversible choice, move slowly and think carefully.

(Hat tip to @tferriss, who once compared making decisions to choosing a sweater, which sent me down this line of thinking.)
