Thank you Chicago!

Thank God for lineman from Chicago! We have been without power for 3 1/2 days. I made my way to Walmart for some much needed batteries and candles this morning, the Chicago lineman were staging there at 9 this morning. We got power back around 45 minutes ago, one of them knocked at the front door to make sure everything was O.K. and to let us know power was restored. It has been some very LONG frigid nights here lately, trying times for a million people without power.

Thank you to all neighboring states for your support in these desperate times!

I am glad that you like the lineman from Chicago. At least someone has somethign good to say aobut Illinois these days.

Just so you know, when I last lost power, I was out for 3 weeks because most of the the "lineman" from Chicago were on Strike. I can only guess what the Kentucky Power company is paying them. At least I lost power in the summer, I am certain our governor (insert snicker here) would have forced them back to work if it was winter.

Hopefully while they are here working 16 hour shifts; they will spend some of that OT$$$ money to stimulate the economy!

I know this storm has put a dent in my savings account, I call it forced stimulus.

You have a governor?

That's awesome. Times are changing and I think people are starting to come together. It's amazing how well life works if we all help each other.
