Power is restored after the "big storm"!
Ladies and gentlemen, I am very happy to report that at 1540 hours (3:45 PM,) power has been restored to the Crestwood independents domicile! In a bit over 141 hours since loosing the electricity to the neighborhood, were back on the web.
Several things came to the fore during this black out, that being you cant re-charge your cell phone, cordless phones do not work, we still have screens on windows, we still have neighbors, we still need each others help from time to time, and last but not least ice is an amazing invention!
It also occurred to me that if we had been on a wagon train west from St. Louis in the 1800's my Bride of lo these last 40 years may not have made it to Fenton! Cancer survivors on Tamoxifin have no sense of humor when it comes to heat and humidity. We shared many a conversation of the ability, voracity, and the willingness of Amren to get anything at all done! That said however, Amren deserves a very large pat on the back for the job the did under a double whammy such as we saw in the last few days. I have lived here for 36 years, and never have I seen such wide spread problems as we faced this past week.
Some of us had power, some not, but we all should come away from this fully understanding that we very much need each other if we are to survive in this world. I for one am very happy to be right where I am, in Crestwood, where the neighbors help each other, and are very happy to do it.
