Its a miracle.......I can watch football today after all

Great! Now you can unplug from reality.

I haven't watched football all year and I'm sure I haven't missed a thing!

Your missing a great opportunity to keep the TV off and turn your brain back on.

It's amazing how much we depend on the fossil fueled power or nuclear energy grid. People who live in the metropolitan area apartments are conditioned to take basic services for granted while the rural and even suburban population is a bit more independent. We lost our power in the direcho early in the summer but a small generator got our freezer and refrigerator through OK and even powered a fan in the bedroom. We always have water bottles stockpiled and we cooked on the barbie.

What's a direcho?

It would have been back on in two, had non-unioners been allowed in.

they were allowed... they chose to leave rather than work under our state rules.

aren't you the ones who are all about states' rights?

Yeah... they were required to become union members.

But telling the truth is not one of your better traits though is it?

Huzzah!

We only lost power for one night. That night the house was unimaginably quite. I loved it. The biggest issue was we have a well which means without electricity we don't have any pressure. Even the most prepared can be unprepared.

There are no union workers where I live, it took non-union fellows 2 weeks to get ours on after an ice storm.

I am glad you have power again.



Oh, ...so how were those internet updates working for you in the mean time?

the state rules that require union membership performing the work?

Damn.....Giants beat the Cowboys last week because on a hail Mary the Cowboys receivers finger tip was out of bounds

LOVE the Game!

That's great RW! I have a friend in Jersey that only went without power about 3 days. To me..ANY time without power is horrible! We've gone 3 or 4 days before, after wind/ice storms. Have a generator thank God!!

Glad your back..... I think

I've gone a very cold 10 days with no power due to an ice storm. Lucky I had a gas stove for heat & warming water for bathing. Refrigeration was not a problem with the cold.

Good. Take a shower then call 9-1-1 and ask Obama - that is, if your mouth is off his asscrack, what took so long.
