A good idea
I’ve always thought this would be a good idea. Glad to see someone working on it.

When government starts….
enacting laws about what kind of lightbulbs you can use, then its time to send the legislators home because they’ve clearly got nothing useful left to do. More here.

A great story
This is a great story. I hope we see more stories like it in the future. Even in this country there is room for people to act like this young man did.

LMAO
This is just plain funny. I am all for energy conservation, but these self professed “Greens” are just over the top. If I were a taxpayer in this jurisdiction I’d be pretty darn mad at the waste.

and God said, “Let there be light, and there was light.”
After 4 1/2 days without power, we finally got it back at 12:30 p.m. today. Now, if we don’t get the massive snowfall they have been predicting for Monday, I can begin the long process of cleaning up the mess. I’ll just be glad to spend the night in my own bed, with heat and light. I’ll post some more photos later.

No power, day 3.
Just a quick update. No power yet. House was 46F inside last night. Skippy brought over a kerosene heater and got part of the inside up to 64F this morning. No water due to a pinhole leak under the kitchen sink. All in all, it could be worse, but it could also be better!

Still hurtin’
24hrs without power or heat. House is 54 inside this morning and falling. Candles make a lousy heat source. No thaw today. Lucky to hit 30 degrees. No sun.
Yard looks bad in the light of day. Hope my big trees survive.
My back yard
My poor trees

In the dark
Its been a rough few days at the model manse. The storms that passed thru Louisville on Sunday not only took down a number of big limbs from the stately maple trees on the grounds of the manse, they also took the lights, the air conditioning, the heat…pretty much everything that made modern life so easy. You can read more here.
As you can imagine, no modeling was accomplished for the last few days. However, I did get some magazines read by flashlight. I guess that is modeling the way our ancestors did it. The good news is that thanks to the wonderful workers at LG & E, we have power again as of late this morning. We are hoping it stays on. Cross your fingers.
