It is a good thing his neighbors are being generous.<br /><br />I had the same thing happen to me when I lived in Houston. I did not have power but my neighbors across the street did. It was during a Category 1 hurricane but with my CRS I do not recall the year or the name :-(MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-75741421740785105232023-02-05T19:25:14.306-08:002023-02-05T19:25:14.306-08:00I have a friend in Austin who is still without pow...I have a friend in Austin who is still without power. He said he was among the remaining 1700 who still need to be put online.Oddly enough, all his neighbors across the street have never lost it. They have been generous to the unlucky ones...the odd street numbers. The even street numbers have just been fine and dandy throughout. Though tree limbs are down everywhere.

I have no problem with dirt and wind as those are almost the same circumstances I face when I attend the Terlingua Chili Cookoff. <br /><br />Terlingua is not for everyone but the brave souls that attend keep on going year after year just like the folks at Quartzsite. In Terlingua, it is held at a private ranch but the camping area is limited. At least the Quartzsite crowd has a large area to spread out in.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-87983040415243763162023-02-02T18:59:45.653-08:002023-02-02T18:59:45.653-08:00No I have never attended any of his RTR's as I...No I have never attended any of his RTR's as I have never gone to Quartzsite. I have been tempted but the route there is long with lots of traffic. It is all dirt and when the wind blows that dirt is everywhere. Just not my thing. But it must be great since the same people go all the time. It gets really crowded.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519591971505124464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-81173409648492226112023-02-02T18:43:55.824-08:002023-02-02T18:43:55.824-08:00I believe you, Jo, once said that those hedious tr...I believe you, Jo, once said that those hedious trees could survive a 500-year drought. There is no doubt in my mind that they could. Just like roaches...you can not get rid of them...grrrrrrrr!<br /><br />We got some rain in the middle of the night though I do not think it froze. The sun came out late this afternoon, warming up the atmosphere. It should be in the 70's by Sunday.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-16325312168261778562023-02-02T18:14:10.068-08:002023-02-02T18:14:10.068-08:00Ha.

We did get a layer of freezing rain middle of the night and toward dawn, but it was not enough to damage anything. And now, it is warming up!!<br />JudithKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00624192907254384403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-63032389827935128652023-02-02T11:49:07.374-08:002023-02-02T11:49:07.374-08:00It has been unpleasantly cold this winter...maybe ...It has been unpleasantly cold this winter...maybe this is the end of it? With global warming you never know. I have watched some YouTube Quartzsite videos where they are complaining of the unusual temperatures and moving to warmer parts of Arizona for the winter.<br /><br />Off subject, have you ever attended a Bob Wells RTR?MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-60001755178551603242023-02-02T11:39:27.045-08:002023-02-02T11:39:27.045-08:00I thought of you since I know you live farther nor...I thought of you since I know you live farther north. I am glad that you are OK and did not lose power like everyone else in cities with older established trees that succumbed to the weight of the ice and took down the power lines.<br /><br />Too bad that did not happen here would have loved to have lost all the "pesky mesquite trees" to the weather and not have to deal with those god-awful trees!MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-34549629911596822782023-02-01T20:49:46.379-08:002023-02-01T20:49:46.379-08:00Dang you sure are getting hit hard this winter. Ha...Dang you sure are getting hit hard this winter. Happy to hear you didn't lose power! This morning was very strange here yes it was cold but the sky looked strange and the mountains behind me and in front had very low clouds and could barely be seen. I thought maybe it was snowing on them. Later when I went out again around 9am it moved closer and I realized it was fog. I had to go pick up some meds and hoped it wouldn't get any worse for the return trip. But luckily it was rolling back up towards the mountains.<br />Stay warm!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13519591971505124464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-47634089728905421722023-02-01T18:03:15.493-08:002023-02-01T18:03:15.493-08:00Quite a bit farther to the north, but we've lu...Quite a bit farther to the north, but we've lucked out. There WAS ice on the roads of course, but nothing dreadful happened this morning. Both days it has turned to slush. But all the local police had to do was report 30 accidents this morning, all just fender benders. Anyway everything was shut down yesterday and today - nobody went anywhere, except for intrepid souls who had to or just wanted to. <br />And by noon tomorrow it will all be over.
