cold case

Here's the problem: One power company (also one gas station, same owner as the power company, one transfer station for trash, same owner). Our power is the third most expensive in this great land of ours, after that of a little Texas town (for reasons I don't understand) and the island of Kauai (for reasons I do understand). And apparently the power produced yesterday (transformer problem?) wasn't the right kind to run the cold cases at the one grocery store on the island. It's a game of monopoly.
