Hallelujah!!!

Here is the latest from the Texas Rays, who finally have power back. I have been watching the Centerpoint updates from afar, willing the 77063 zip code to get power back sooner rather than later.. think it helped? Robin

Well, we made it. The power came back last night, not with out a little fan fare. We went to a movie yesterday afternoon (it was getting hot) and when we drove down our street coming home I saw our security light was on. The power had just come on. As we turned into our drive way our
neighbor came running out yelling fire and ran inside to call the fire department. Our tree limb that was laying across the primary (12,000 volts) had flashed into a ball of flames. Fortunately it went out as fast as it lit. Stunk up the yard and smoked for awhile, but by the time the fire engine showed up it was not even smoking. The fire fighters could not do anything about the limb but did get through to the light company and explained the problem. As the fire truck left, the light company
truck (a pick up with one guy) showed up to see what was going on. After some conversations with his boss, they left it as it was and said they could fix it today. We still have power, but I am not putting the ice chest away yet.

Other news, Pam is doing better all the time. It is a slow process. Seems there may be a problem with Pam's heart. She has very low blood pressure, so they have to be real careful with the medications for the fever and infection. But she is feeling better.

That's about it from here. More funnies are on the way.
