[ale] OT: Alpharetta Power

[Mark Wright]

i think Alpharetta has crapy power service from Ga power.  I have  
customers all over town but the ones in Alpharetta all have power  
problems.  I never get calls after a power storm except from  
Alpharetta customers.  My biggest Alpharetta customer tracks the  
weather closely and they go on their UPS before the storm comes and  
will stay on UPS until it is over.   Sometimes I go over their and  
hear the generator from the parking lot and the weather is not bad.   
When I ask they usually say they were having "issues" and decided to  
get off the grid for a while.

I think they grew too fast in the 80's.
