Bad, bad, bad.<br /><br />What the media are ignoring in all these reports: the canopy that the environmentalists <b>INSISTED</b> upon. Tree trimming here ofter requires a permit, and those trees on government properties are out of control. Disasters waiting to happen! Here in Virginia, at least where I live in Virginia, the power companies trim the trees close to the lines. I'm not sure that Pepco is allowed to do so in Maryland and D.C.<br /><br />Last year, several of my neighbors and I said, "To hell with the county ordinance. We're at least cutting back our own trees."<br /><br />As a result, our street was one of the first to regain power. And no chain saws were needed.<br /><br />Here's one for you....Some folks in affected areas now have generators. Well, those without generators are bitching about the noise. For God's sake! This is an emergency!Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-1146030920615277172012-07-02T09:59:09.895-07:002012-07-02T09:59:09.895-07:00WSF: right, because he apparently has so much clou...WSF: right, because he apparently has so much clout with the power company.<br /><br />NFO: I'd rather see them up cranes repairing lines to DC.<br /><br />Because we know they'd screw up and no one could call in or out.<br /><br />THAT would be called a victory.<br /><br />BZBloviating Zeppelinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01359816456769157176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7370534.post-67711212875878298952012-07-02T08:46:17.336-07:002012-07-02T08:46:17.336-07:00Yep, it's AFU back here right now, and the pol...Yep, it's AFU back here right now, and the pols are coming out of the woodwork...
