Fred and the East-West Cold War
Hello from the front lines of the east-west cold war!
First it rained, then it got very cold, water froze to everything.
Down came trees and the power went out, but, just on the east side of our street.
The mayor, a republican, lives on our side.
The city council president, a democrat, lives on the west side.
On the east side, lights gone - tv gone - computer gone, and the HEAT left.
While across the street, as we got into more and more clothing,
the west side enjoyed life as usual. Actually, they seemed to enjoy our plight.
First it was just enjoying their hot coffee in the front window.
But soon, they were folicking about in swim suits, while icicles formed on our noses.
The fridge is starting to smell, but across the street, they were hosting a hawaiian barbecue.
OK, it was just an evil thought, but a tree did fall, and we were cold for about 28 hours.
Oh, how spoiled I am. It was Cold. Many people around the world would gladly trade places with us.
Anyway, it's nice to be warm - - - until the Natural Gas Bill arrives...
Bye!
Fred
