Still powerless after Ike
I was hearing that many consumers in Texas are still without their electricity after Hurricane Ike wreaked its havoc on Texas. It has been two weeks! I would hate to think what life would be like in this area without electricity! I love the conveniences electricity brings to my life. I love being able to just flick on a switch, grab a soda from the refrigerator, watch a little television, and be able to shower or do laundry if need be. Without electricity, I would not be pleasant company for very long! I need white noise to sleep – and that takes electricity! If we have a power outage that lasts more than two hours around here, I go nuts! I can only say that going two weeks without electricity would truly be a nightmare for me! I feel bad for all those people who have had to deal with that situation.
