Right now we are without power while typing this, yet do not
know when it will get posted. Once the power turns back on and our wifi comes
up, I will post it. The headlines today say most power in North Texas will back
by Friday. Today is Wednesday. I am presuming they are working in sections so
who knows where the power comes back on first, but probably anything close to
hospitals, fire stations etc will be repaired first. Also note the headline
said most power so there are probably some low priority areas that are going to
be hurting for a bit longer. (I found out later that the hardest hit areas are
targeted for Saturday)
And it is Texas and it is hot and humid, so there is that.
And because of the power outages, there are significant
amount of traffic lights out. And on Tuesday everyone was driving civilly, each
person taking the proper turn as per four way stop rules with blinking traffic
lights. It didn’t take long here in North Texas for the less civil to start
doing their thing. People are just flying through the lights like nothing
exists. I saw one wreck this morning where by the amount of damage someone was
going at a good speed and hit someone in the intersection. And here we are day
two I have seen way too many people just fly right through these intersections,
even going around people properly stopped in one lane waiting there turn. One person
who took their turn was almost hit by someone who tried to go around another
person and just drove on through. Drivers here are bad enough on a good day and
to see this lack of respect for others is just plain dangerous. So my advice
stay away and save life, limb and property.
And I am wondering if 80 years of breathing leaded fuel exhaust
has made people stupid. I know we have unleaded fuel now, but how much brain
damage was caused to people who lived in high pollution environments or worked
in close proximity to lead exhaust and spent years of their lives breathing it
in. Just a thought as to why we have so much craziness now. And for the life of
me I have never understood why people think breathing poison is okay.
Hope wherever you are, things are looking up.
And one of these days I need to update some pictures. Smh at myself
