Random story.   I was a young kid playing Final Fantasy 1. I was renaming my warrior and came up with Alzarius.  AAfter that, Alzarius was born. (Or so I thought)     The internet

I just concluded day 8 without power, phone, internet... At least we had water.  Ran dangerously low on firewood.   Local PD had stockpiles of firewood for this type of crap and the local radio statio

And Fled Cruz flew off to somewhere warm so you knew the weather would be bad

Mine was off sometime overnight but came back on around 6:00

I'm getting to a hotel. Already had a tree hit the house and I'm surrounded. About to get wild when everything freezes over again tonight.

S you went full Ted Cruz!

 

That fuckin' Fled Cruz!  We were already back down in FL before we knew the storm was even coming, so might as well make the most of it.  Another week before we come back probably.  Ol' Fled's goofy ass has to come back to his job too, we don't.  😹  Tomorrow marks 16 years since I left that shit behind - and she left hers at the end of the Summer.  Stayed mainly 'cause she liked working there.  Why, I don't know.  I woulda been gone from that shit.

 

We both be retired homies now!  Uh oh... I feel that song coming on...

 

Pull your #84 jersey's out!

 

One Clap!

 

We gonna play when we wanna play!

 

We gonna do what we wanna do!

 

If we can't do it, no body can't do it!

 

We gonna take the top off the defense boredom!

 

We gonna take the top off the defense boredom!

 

Moss dis, Moss dat... Moss dis, Moss dat!

 

This is gonna be a fun ride, fun ride!  

 

This is gonna be a fun ride, fun ride...

My power went out again at noon and hasn’t come back on. I’m spending the night at home but if it’s still out tomorrow I’ll just go make use of my brother’s guest room.

It was 11 degrees when I started carrying mail this morning, snow was deep. Once the roads were driven on and the snow was gone the ice was super slick

I bet all the neighborhood dogs were barking at you from living room windows today.

Well this is kind of interesting for Nashville. NES has only about 4 to 500 linemen while other regions are deploying thousands or tens of thousands for similar outages. The ratio is terrible. 

 

Now there are reasons to explain this off, but the bottom line is NES doesn't want to pay union fees for emergency services and that's fucked. It's colder than a well digger's asshole out there. There's for sure a bottle neck at the start, but tens of thousands just came free and we aren't calling for them.

Far from an expert reason for this, but have a buddy that's still a lineman that I catch occasionally.

 

Basically, anyone local is heading into the worst of the north for the pay OR going south to take care of rich communities for a free vacation somewhere warmer. Speaking generally of course. 

 

But yeah, multi-layered issue.
