ice, ice, everywhere ice...

It's starting to remind me of some of the scenes from 'Children of Men' around my town, and only after a day and a half since the ice storm hit Friday night. It amazes me how quickly the breakdown of the human eliment arrives when the electricity goes down. Not to mention everything has that 'grayish' appearance much like the way 'Men's' scenes were filmed. It gets really difficult trying to be the cheerleader of your friends and family telling them how much worse things could be, but without heat I guess it's expected. So while the McDonald's, Taco Bells, and other various fastfood resturants are lined out the door for what I can only imagine is considered a "hot meal', or at least maybe a well needed happy meal just for the sake of its irony, everyone waits for their biggest enemy and hero, the Amerin UE electrician repairman. I can only imagine what these white Midwesterns would be like in a Katrina scenerio. ta.
