Even in the southland, winter has taken hold this year. This land is still recovering from an ice storm where two plus inches of ice covered everything. Broken limbs caused severe power outages and much damage. Power crews from many states are in the area to restore power to thousands.
Winter's cold grip
The good Lord did give us a reprieve this weekend in two ways. The temperature reached above 60 degrees on Saturday. Not only did it melt much of the ice, but gave us a small taste of spring. Regardless of what the groundhog does this week, I know spring is on the way. The warm weather, if brief, does bring out the playfulness in people. One such people in particular showed her playfulness on Saturday.
Can Spring be far behind?
I suppose I’d be guilty as charged for picking nits, but what defines a “severe” power outage? power is out or not out (in actuality “on”. Until such time as power returns to “on” it is unavailable. So is it the duration of out that determines severe or the number of homes/business doing without as relating to expected duration? probably so.
just wondering. I heard “they” were hiring for U.S. Federal Department of Nit-Pickers and thought this would look good on my resume, just in case my current career path suddenly diverts to the drop-off edge of a 100′ cliff. and since my taxes are accurate and paid up, I just may be a shoo-in. I could even dress-up like a Repulse-ican and count towards the drive for inclusitiviness (got that from my Texican/NewEngland/Yale dialog diction-airy, which proves my Republicaniness) ~nostrebor
