FEMA Loads
2009 January 31
Just wanted to jump on real quick to let you all know we’ve been running FEMA loads to Kentucky and having trouble finding internet access. Seems like when you’re shut down at the end of the load and have time to post, there is no power/cell access.
Also, the government is such a master of Boobery they make TWMNBN look down right logical. Sigh.
Yeah, I hear it’s a bad situation in KY. Good luck, be safe!
Boobery status: extreme.
Says it all. Thanks for the laugh. And good luck doing the good work with FEMA. Plz keep us posted, as possible — worry about you 3 and the ice.

Looking again at your winsome little granddaughter: know that lady in LA area allegedly LOVES kids, but can you even imagine having 8 of these little faces clamoring for your attention, on top of 6 small kids already at home?
My neighbor across the street is one of the most energetic and organized people I know; she’s stay at home mom with husband with well compensated job. 3 children, infant to 7, with one stepson who is 14. Wonderful wonderful person.
She almost ran over the family cat this week, with all the kids in the minivan; noticed what was happening and laid on my car horn to stop her. They’ve taken on one mouth too many in that house, and it’s got little claws too.
Hate to think what that “mother of the year” has gotten herself and her children into. The older kids might have a class action suit, because they are going to have to grow up and into babysitters real fast.
Not usually sucked into outrage of the week cable stuff, but this story really irks me, because it seems so irresponsible of this woman. You don’t let people hoard animals; how much worse for baby humans.
We headed out of Kentucky this a.m. Picked up a load in Memphis and are heading to Los Angeles.
Man, I can’t tell you how god-awful it is in Kentucky. Those poor people. Seems like everywhere in the state looks like a war zone.
I drove across the state, night before last, in the dark, and it was damned eerie. There weren’t many lights on anywhere, what with the electricity being out over such a large area, and when there were lights, the trees and ground sparkled with ice, pretty, but deadly.
On the parkways in the western part of the state, trees had fallen by the hundreds onto the road. Looked like crews had been working hard to clear them off the highways as much as they could. Still, it was best to drive in the left-hand lane to avoid the ones that still hung into the road a bit.
We had a bad ice storm like this hit at home about two years ago. Clean-up took well over a year. Who knows how long it’s going to take to clean up in Kentucky, and the other states that were hit by this storm.
My heart goes out to them all.
