Some of you may be wondering why I have been around. You will never guess what happen! Someone hit the pole right outside my house and we didn't have power. It's a good thing it has not been that cold. All thing considered they got the power back on quickly or at least I think so because there was some damage to the pole. I hope you all had a better day than we did.

Where I live utilities are mostly underground. People may hit fire hydrants, but not power poles.

@whiteream When I was in Key West, I was horrified at how ugly it was, with dozens of different lines and wires overhead on every street. Such a pity.

Most places are like that now but there are still some like my area that are not.

I am glad you have power again! I hate being without power now that I'm an adult-when I was a kid I loved it. Lol.

@whiteream It is safer, but in some rural area they are still on poles.

@whiteream I hate it when the power goes off because I cannot get Internet and of course other problems when night falls. We once had to go several days by candlelight. Glad you got your power back quickly.

In July we went two full weeks with no power. I ended having to stay with my in-laws until ir was fixed.

Yes, it is very hard to do any work with no power. At least it didn't get cold.

You can't blame mother nature on that one I guess. We've been fairly lucky here if the power goes out we're just a few miles from the power compnay's many facility so they get us back up quickly.
