Today only 38 thousand are without electricity pg 81
In Dayton area
Only 38 thousand are without electricity wow this is great my brother and he's wife now have electricity . All they needed was for a power person to climb a ladder and turn it back on for them .
Of course all was not will when the electricity came on he had a leak under he's sink . So he had to go out and buy a pipe and fix it himself since the person who owns he's apartment building lives in another state .
They had some women on t.v.
Who was sick and needed power because of medical problems like my sister in law their were people on oxgon who didn't have power .
Life can be hard without power. Alot of good hardworking people like my brother are running short on money . They might have to borrow some because of all of the meals they ate out at least now my brother will have some time to rest and sleep .
This problem because of her illness and he's need to take care of her has kept him from resting .
Trees were not trimmed in Ohio
Money had been allocated by the power companies but was spent else where . That is what my local paper said about the problem .
It is a beautiful day today in Ohio it seems ot stay dark longer so I haven't walked my little dog yet . I am going to have to go to the grocery today and pick up somethings . I expect them to be crowded because people like my brother and my cousin having to throw out so much food .
Thousands of pounds of food got wasted in the country .
It will be a hard winter in Ohio this year with prices rising on food because of rising gas prices and prices raising on utlities because of raising prices of gas .
People who are old who still work and more and more social security recepance are having to work like my brother because it is not enough to live off of . You see old people running registers in restraunts .
I hope the new president
Is able to help out social security receipances by letting more of them work and quit taking away so many benifits if they do work . This mostly occurs right now if they make over a certain amount they have to pay back half of the money they get from working when they are 62 to 65 years old we earned our social security .
When a family member dies before receiving social security who has paid into it for years the family gets nothing . That is all nothing to even help with the burial . I knew a man once who only lived to be 35 he left a wife and step daughter .
They did get social security for one year for the step child he had worked hard made good money paid into social security and got back nothing of it .
On a different site I think our ecomony can recover . I saw that during the crisis in Ohio . We had people out cooking on charcoal all day over the weekend and giving the food to their neigbors americans pull together in a time of crisis.
It is all for one and one for all we just have to put our thinking caps on and reinvent things . That is what america does every so many years we reinvent things .
We need to reinvent trains we need ot get our railroad back up and running passager trains and freight trains . We have for gotten what a part trains had played in our past .
The spirit of love and of giving will not go away our area proved that people shared what little they had with their neigbors people brought seinors meals and called them up on the phone and talked to them.
People help their neighbors remove trees and clean up after the mess . This spirit goes beyond wall street america had problems during the great depression and during the 1970 we worked our way out of it that is what Ronald Reagon told us we could do and we did it and we will do it again on the backs of our neighbors a country pulling together for the good of all of its people .
We will start new business to replace those that went over seas . We will invent new things which will help everybody in the world because that is who we are we are the mutts of the world and proud to be mutts I might add .
