Another day, another trip to McDonalds to bang out a blog. The winds hit again yesterday, God almighty did they hit, but this time there were no twisters. However, the internet at the Poor Farm did, of course, go down. I have called to make sure that the company was aware of the outage, and they were, and there is an estimated repair time of 7:00 p.m. today. I am taking it all very calmly because I know people who are still without power from last Friday night's storms. Their issues need to be addressed first. My problem is a trivial inconvenience compared to being without power for nearly a week - and no relief in sight.
Yesterday I saw a utiility crew out next to Highway 63, our major thoroughfare, struggling to keep a power pole from falling down onto the highway. Whatever compensation those people are making is undoubtedly inadequate.
I don't remember wind being much of an issue before Trump came into office.
Here is my mot recent senior moment: I am thinking about possibly going to Kansas City this weekend - haven't been there since before Christmas. In preparation for the trip which may or may not happen, I stopped at a gas station yesterday on my way to cardiac rehab and filled my car's gas tank. Then, later in the day when I got home from rehab and sat down to the computer and discovered the latest internet outage, I thought to myselt, hey Pa Rock, why not use this sudden "free time" to go to town and fill the gas tank. So I did - and when the pump stopped at less than two dollars and I couldn't squeeze any more out of it, the poor pump got a good cussing.. To my credit, I apologized to the pump before getting back in the car and going home - where I obviously belonged!
I blame Trump for that, too!
