No wonder that I couldn't email you last night, I still spell Cat as c-a-t-.......LOL
There was a lady electrocuted in Las Vegas about a year ago.
She stepped on a metal electric box in the path or by one.
I think that it might have been a casino sidewalk.
Didn't think that I needed to store that memory, so have only a slight recall of it. Need a larger memory bank.

I found this article about that electrocution in Vegas to help refresh your memory Granny.
BOX INSPECTIONS -- Clark County, Nev., is hiring temporary workers (at a cost of almost $200K) to inspect 5,000 underground electrical boxes in county parks -- and repair them if it is found necessary -- according to the 9/17 Las Vegas Review-Journal. A woman was electrocuted Aug. 16 when she stepped on the metal lid of an electrical box on the sidewalk near Treasure Island on the Las Vegas Strip; the lid was covered with water. Upon hearing of this, two area residents reported having received jolts from such boxes in county parks earlier. County workers have inspected more than 1,000 boxes already, finding no safety problems; but there are 68 neighborhood and regional parks. The funds will go to hire two electricians and two maintenance workers for the one-year task.
