The storm has been really bad, but the worst thing is that is was totally predictable and the state was utterly unprepared which is all down to the people who have "governed" the state for the last 25 years. We can only hope that voters remember this experience when they go to the polls once again.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-57085661700500035142021-02-19T14:14:04.481-06:002021-02-19T14:14:04.481-06:00Sounds like another wonderful read.

We spent a few hours in the dark and cold, most of it at night, but we have a generator (which we never fired up) and a fireplace so we were never in danger of being completely without heat. Our younger daughter, who lives in Northwest Houston, fared worst in our family. Her power was out for more than a day initially and she later had a three hour outage. But we are all alive and well, warm and fed, at least for the moment, so we are so much better off than so many of our neighbors. My heart breaks for them.Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3560838335414244511.post-5616061964783394852021-02-19T11:02:48.874-06:002021-02-19T11:02:48.874-06:00I meant to ask you how you have fared during the w...I meant to ask you how you have fared during the winter storm.
