Darn! More stormy weather today. We have the usual wind warnings and the results of that could be quite dramatic, especially as the soil is so saturated; I will expect to see more trees down. And power lines? I hope not! We will be cooking the pot roasts at the same time the winds will be ripping.
Speaking of power lines; as I was. The News and Review had a good article/comment about the recent power outages. And they echoed my thoughts exactly. I have been looking at all of the old photos on the Shorpy website and I thought how odd it was that 100 years ago we were using wooden poles to support electrical wires and we still do that today. Is that because the pole and wire technology has never been surpassed? That they discovered the ‘perfect’ way to move electricity 100 years ago and there is no sense in looking any further? Or…perhaps it’s all about money?
