I remember looking out the front window of my old house about 5 years ago and watching the meter reader traverse the neighborhood on a freakin Segway.
They have an electronic reader set up in their trucks here. They just do a drive by every 2 months and collect the info that way. They don't even have to slow down usually about 40 mph when they go by here.

I hope they stay behind the times here too....Our reader is a beautiful 40 yr old, she's about 5'9'' with a awesome ass :0074
You mean the Smart Meter KD, the one that Carol Browner sunk 500K into before she got her job with Barry ?

Technology is wonderful to an extent. I'm reminded of the Romans and their development of roads. It was a great way to perpetuate the growth of the Roman Empire but it also gave adversaries access to the inner cities that they previously would not have had access to.
New "roads" can cut both ways.
