Library Open...

I'm writing this from work during my lunch break... and it's not a long lunch break. I have to go mail something out at the post office and grab something to eat.

Too much multi-tasking for me. I am a woman not an octopus.

Nice to have the library open and see the regulars and look forward to the prospect of a pay check again.

Trees down everywhere, bellsouth trucks suddenly in the area this morning so maybe, maybe they will get my phone line fixed and I can do a real post.

Everyone is okay... give or take, fighting with insurance companies who don't want to pay because it wasn't a really BIG storm and not enough damage and people are left with high deductibles they can't afford after paying a fortune because the hurricane didn't do ENOUGH damage. But, for many $5,000 out of pocket when a pocket is empty is a lot of money. As the man told my brother.. "we are here in case your home blows away in a storm." He was less than thrilled and had to tell him.. "sorry but the house is still standing it just needs a new roof ...."

Oh well..

Utilities playing blame game..

Most often heard..

They aren't OUR poles.. they belonged to the telephone company.

Your trees weren't trimmed. (The gardeners refuse to trim trees by power lines because FPL owns the ground under them and THEY are supposed to keep their lines accessible in a perfect world............................)

The poles were designed to lean that way. (Good answer...except then something is wrong becasue they didn't lean at that angle BEFORE the storm... nice to know Wilma fixed them...)

etc..etc... not enough time to give all of the excuses because I have to go mail out something and there will probably be a long line at the post office. It's okay.. am used to lines.. am tough. I am a Miami Girl.. dontcha know...

Love to all... well those that I really love .. the rest of you.. keep watching as you always do...
