Sunday night, Georgia was hit with a blinding blizzard. The heavens opened up and released... oh, easily 3 inches of snow. More, even. Hard to tell, it coated my lawn, but I wouldn't exactly call it drifting.
Well, in Madison County, the lights are still out. It's Wednesday.
This might sound pitiful. Well, it is. But to be fair, the problem is that most of the downed lines are back in fields, and when these large trucks go out in those fields to fix the lines, they sink up to their axles. They need other trucks to come pull them out. This tends to slow the process.
The news this evening interviewed people in the area. One man let it be known that, owing to the loss of electricity, all the electric fences in the fields were also down.
Bulls are mixing with cows and cows are mixing with bulls.
We all know the end of this story.
Business Week says that Atlanta is the 10th Unhappiest City in America. But tell that to the cattle in Madison. It's all about perspective.
