Ghost meter

 While we're on the subject of Entergy today. 

Chef Eric Cook opened his French Quarter restaurant Saint John two years ago with an aim to showcase traditional New Orleans cooking. Today he announced he’s closed the restaurant “indefinitely” in exasperation over the city’s leadership and its utility providers.

In a statement, Cook said Entergy New Orleans cut power to Saint John, at 1117 Decatur St., over a bill for $40,000. Cook claims this bill is for “a ghost meter that they cannot even determine its location on the property.”

That's a shame. I do sort of expect maintaining a meter that tells you how many ghosts are in the restaurant would be kind of expensive. At the same time, though, I thought that's what the big Varg piece on the wall of the dining room was for.
