A tale of two sides of the street





Trucks are gone and yes more houses in my immediate neighborhood have power but my block nope. There are houses on both sides of the street. If you notice in one its the stop sign at the corner how many times have I taken that picture. As more houses have light than did last night MLGW has been busy, but the "Saturday initial estimate" is almost like a set in stone ultimatum.

Can I hope sure, could prayers help I don't know a single person without power who would turn them back, you never see how vulnerable our electronic worl is until times like this. Then you wonder why weren't we more interested in solar, why haven't we demanded that all power lines be buried not just the new ones. And please don't be the douche who says" but the cost", your rates will be jacked up regardless. Somebody charging you more for the exact same thing, giving you less service, and claiming cost increases is as built into capitalism as it is to complain about profits when you earn a 6 or 7 figure salary even though the company is failing.

Last time I checked if I didn't do my chores right Dad didn't give me my allowance he made me go back and redo it right and THEN he gave me my allowance. Because then I had earned it, and if cut corners and got caught later, I got punished and STILL had to redo it until I got it right. So please rate hikes are going to happen regardless to if the bury everybodies lines. So yeah I know the okie doke, and you throw the punch at the body because while the head is easy to move the body is a much bigger target.

I mean I am glad for the folks who got power back today, and as they kept working til after 8 pm there is hope and a chance that MAYBE tomorrow I will be watching Smallville(fingers crossed). Yeah don't ask me why I am wasting battery lamenting this, but I am. I guess even though I can't interact with my readers and blog followers that this, just able to say whatever is on my mind and post it(raw or not) is comforting to me now. And comfort is at a premium when you have no power and it looks this dark and desolate.

Okay battery light is orange time to go
