Re: Back to spring bulbs

There are a lot of advantages living in a small town. Our electric company's office is in a town 24 miles north of us, and one of the workers came from about 40 miles away. They are always right on top of every emergency.

Scary, Zem, Thank goodness it didn't start a fire.
At least the power company came promptly and
fixed things.  When something like that happened
on our road last year it took them eight hours to
get our power back on even though the downed
tree was cleared away in a couple of hours.

over on the wires and shorting out our shared transformer. I don't know why 
the tree was leaning, but it appeared to be healthy.  The three of us (my
neighbor, her husband and I) stood outside watching the electric company
personnel (2) cut the tree apart, and we had power restored by 10:00 p.m.
