Yeah, that's not that unusual.  The voltage here in my house right now
is 125v, and has been pretty much that for the last seven years.  And my
lightbulbs don't last real long either.

Our mountaintop repeater site had line voltage around 132 volts back in
1971; it's been dropping steadily since and is now down to about 118 -
either the lines are aging or it's all the additional load as more
equipment gets installed.

At work the voltage is a nice 117.5 on two of the three phases.  It's
about a volt higher on the third; I think there are fewer VAXes on that
phase.
