We’re under a Blizzard Warning from now until 8 am Tuesday (tomorrow) Morning, BUT, I’m not worried about the Blizzard, and, I’m not sitting and waiting for the snow and 35 to 50 mph winds that accompany a Blizzard – I’m just sitting and waiting for the ELECTRICITY to go off just when I desperately need it ON!….. \u00c2\u00a0Anybody out there who has followed the MR Community Blog for any amount of time is well aware of my feelings concerning our unreliable, incompetent, non-caring, and totally greedy Power Companies…. \u00c2\u00a0Most of us still receive electricity in our homes via 19th Century technology – Utility Poles!!!!…. \u00c2\u00a0In Oklahoma the grids are in such a sad state that even the slightest wind causes power outages, and, the wind blows across the plains daily…. \u00c2\u00a0I guess if I were in their shoes, I wouldn’t care about improving anything either….. \u00c2\u00a0I mean, all they have to do is ask the government for a rate increase to patch up any storm damage to the antiquated utility pole system and it’s immediately granted….. \u00c2\u00a0How they have managed to convince the Government and the people that this is the ONLY WAY to deliver electricity is beyond me…. \u00c2\u00a0It’s nothing short of Criminal!…. \u00c2\u00a0There is no way to calculate the number of deaths and injuries that can be directly traced to the lack of electricity at crucial times….. \u00c2\u00a0In my case, I plan to stay in for the next day or so, until the weather clears up, UNLESS, \u00c2\u00a0my electricity goes belly-up, which is most likely and a constant worry anytime there is the least amount of bad weather…. \u00c2\u00a0Then, I have no HEAT, no LIGHTS, no way to COOK – NOTHING!!!… \u00c2\u00a0I will be FORCED to either stay inside and try not to freeze until the electricity is back on, or attempt to travel to some other inhabitable environment, which means getting out in a Blizzard that you are being told to stay out of for safety reasons….. \u00c2\u00a0It’s beyond crazy!…. \u00c2\u00a0WAKE-UP PEOPLE and start complaining because it is already too late!….. \u00c2\u00a0U–U-U-G-H-H!!!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
