There will be a scheduled power outage at the Palo Alto hub, this
Friday, September 23, from 2:30 am until 5:30 am _Pacific_ Time.

The reason is pretty funny.  There is a restaurant down the street
from our hub.  Well, they mistook one of the power grid entrance holes
for what they thought was a sewer, and have been pouring the grease
from their fryers down it for weeks!  So to avert the inevitable
flash, bang, boom, they are going to clean it up. (yuck)

Unfortunately, the UPS cannot handle this prolonged an outage, so this
will affect the hub.  Unfortunately, we were given insufficient
time to make any other arrangements (i.e. generator).

We greatly apologize for any inconvenience this short notice may
cause.

Thank you for your understanding and patronage.
