When I drive down the road streetlights turn off, wtf?
Okay folks this has happened to me too many times to count lately... I'll be driving down the interstate near an overpass or down a road in town... this seems to usually happen late at night and when I'm driving a long a street light will go out right as I drive under it.

I don't live in some liberal 5h1thole like Detroit or a semi-third world area like East LA. We have working street lights where I live... we are good, clean, hard-working Muricans.... we make noney and the local gov't steals it and puts up nice street lights.

silly jokes aside I'm really wondering why this has happened to me too many times to count. Has anyone else had this happen? I drive a little SUV... its not like I have a tachyon cannon or an EMP device in my vehicle... is this some kind of omen? Anyone else randomly cause street lights to go out right above while they pass them on the highway?

This and about 3 months ago I had a small meteorite go streaking over the interstate above me glowing green and yellow too.

What is the cosmos trying to tell me?

When a lamp on street lights is bad, it will cycle on and off every few minutes. So it's not like they are going out just for you, they going out fairly often and there are a lot of lamps that you drive by that are doing the same thing, you just happened to be there as they were on.

whew, that makes me feel better... I guess our infrastructure sucks around here then and they aren't changing our lights around here very often... I didn't know they flashed on and off when they are starting to go bad. thx

High intensity discharge lights run for fifteen , twenty min or maybe thirty and then go through a cooling cycle for ten min or less. No specifics but I know it is shutting down to cool and will turn back on .
