POWER!

Got power?

We didn't for 15 straight hours Saturday and Sunday and again for eight hours on Monday. But thanks to these crews from Pike Electric Corporation, headquartered in Mount Airy, N.C., we've got lights tonight and computer access! You really don't realize how addictive these computers are until you're without them...

These crews put power lines back together on a closed section of Summerfield Road in north Dallas County. I suppose that Tropical Storm Fay caused the damage although the winds weren't especially strong yesterday, but at times the rain was heavy. We've received several inches of welcome precipitation, and there's more expected.

Now, for all you Selma and Valley Grande citizens, we're electing our mayors and city councils today, so please go to the polls and exercise your VOTING POWER!
