Ice Storm of 2009

Well, it is suppose to be in the 50's today. Larry is out with the chainsaw cutting firewood. Now if we just heated with wood!! Jerry Newsome does heat with wood, so maybe he will get it. Things are looking a little bit more optimistic now. They are saying we may have power by the end of the week. We are using about $100 per day (40 gal) of diesel fuel to operate our generator, so I will sure be glad when this is all over. At least my 80 year old mother is staying warm here with us. We have had 10-15 people here since Tues. We went out yesterday and saw a lot of the destruction. Trees and electric poles down everywhere. One of the utility Co.'s lost 1500 poles. Someone said a load of poles came in yesterday with a police escort. Other utility companys from outside the state have been coming in to help. I am still looking for Brian Schultz!!

Well I guess I better get back at it.
More later.
