    Still in the dark

    well as some of you may know...
    Kentucky got hit by a major ice storm a week ago
    there were1,450,000 people without electricity in kentucky for 3 days than the number deoped to 300,000...
    well a week later and still 12,000
    one being me
    and we wont have power untill the first of March...
    but... on the bright side
    me and my GF of 3 years get to spend a valentines day by candle light

    from last monday untill friday I logged 4hrs of sleep...every other min. I was cutting trees and clearing logs and power poles from the roads... I guess I get to leave early today to go north a lilbit and help out up there...
