Hurricane Parties
Trees down everywhere
Power out everywhere
Lines for gas if you can find it
Lines for anything you can find
As for my street
Creek flooded the lower
Downed trees blocked the upper
Been playing with chainsaws
Redneck heaven
Trees down
Powerlines down
Creek finally going down
(and things starting to smell ripe)
No telling when I'll be back on here
Life happens
I'm good
A country boy will survive
Thoughts and prayers
To any suffering because of this hurricane

At a friend's with power doing laundry, then back home to the dark. Camping in you might say.

I’m good. Still in the dark but it’s slowly coming back on. The waters are receding and businesses are slowly reopening. Just need patience.
A big THANK YOU to all the utility workers, wood cutting crews, and emergency workers.

Dear AJ,
Non stop prayers and thoughts for everyone trying to get back to dry things and electricity. I’m very glad you’re all right. I hope “things” dry up and out, get switched back on and all else as quickly as humanly possible.
I’m sorry for the experience of this and again, very glad you’re okay. H🌷

Actually I may have a chance to go to Asheville NC this weekend and help with relief efforts up there. They say the best way to get over your problems is to help someone worse off than you. So hopefully I’ll get to go.
As for me, I’m fine. I’m just camping in instead of camping out. You know I’m always talking about hiking Table Rock. They say Table Rock had 19 inches of rain. Wonder when that will reopen…

If you do go I wish you a safe trip. I’m sure your help will be very appreciated. You’re very kind and you’re right, helping others can take a burdensome load off one’s shoulders.

It appears that the trip is a go, so this should help putting my “discomfort” in perspective. 🤔
