Progress Energy

Progress Energy is the electric utility for Raleigh, North Carolina where I live. The major utility providers in North Carolina are Progress and Duke Energy.

When I got my latest bill from Progress Energy, I noticed something interesting. These guys are now trying to peddle "Electric Surge Protection" as a service ! Talk about getting the wolf to guard the chickens ... Arent these guys supposed to ensure that there are no electric surges ?

Interesting ....

Ideamani,

Have you been to the Primate Center at Duke University?

It's really cool place where they have lemurs from Madagascar that they study and breed (and in some cases reintroduce to M'gar). A lot of the lemurs are roaming around a section of Duke Forest that belongs to the Primate Center.

You can schedule a tour with them and actually see the creatures quite close up.

Olinda, no I have not been there, and in fact, I had never even heard about it - I think I will plan a trip there. Thanks for telling me about it ...
