Barney Google with his Goo Goo Googely Eyes
Well, I just posted a comment to my daughter's blog and told her to note what appears on the blog as the name of the commenter (before she erases it hopefully.) The note at the bottom of the blog said I was posting as tanstaafl. We'll see what we see I reckon.
By the by, we had a power outage this morning. I woke up at five and looked at the clock and the clock was like everything else--dark, except for moonlight. So I get up and call AEP. They of course ran me thru the automated system. Thats ok. About 5:25 am, here comes one power company truck and two Asplundh trucks. so I knew they already had had a call. Mary got up about 5:10 and began to get ready for work, and by 6 am I had walked up the hollow. An oak tree, about four feet in diameter had fallen just at the turn into Simpkins' yard (actually about 10 yards or so before it) and had fallen across the road, creek and into the wires and onto his field.
We got power back about 11:30 am. They left a lot of big rounds in the creek (at least they were there about 10:30 am anyway and the guy from Asplundh didn't seem too much inclined to say they would pull them out. I called AEP at about noon and told them about the situation. Don't know the resolution to it yet but plan another walk up the hollow before dark to inspect.
Hey hey suppertime. Fresh corn and tomatoes from the garden. And I don't have thousands, just 1, 999 probably, Kelsie. Or do you prefer Rancid?

Kelsie will do.
I'll still take some tomatoes.After this weekend though.
Officially on vacation...
Don't hold your breath waiting for Assplundh or AEP either one to clean up their messes.I'd hate to have to attend another funeral this soon.
Of course, knowing you, if they don't cleanup their mess, it may be THEIR undoing, not yours....
