From Lainey, “Lots of entertainment on Wopsy last night. Some nut went right through the Penelec\/Telephone across the street in the middle of Wed. night. The pole kicked out an 8 foot section and the top of the pole dropped down and landed on the base like a spear. The guy or guys who wrecked apparently called a friend to pick them up and a wrecker to haul the vehicle away in the middle of the night so the accident wasn’t reported. Long story short – no one reported it until late yesterday afternoon so there were 2 Verizon trucks and 2 Penelec trucks out in our driveway and lots of guys working overtime, making lots of money. The buckets up in the air reminded me of a scene from the old ‘War of the Worlds’ radio event with Orson Welles way back in time. No one mentioned seeing any potato pieces on the transformer! Focus on the photo is a bit soft but you get the idea of how cool it was to watch in the dark.” <\/p>\n
Good night last night. Dinner at Acme. Sent my love to the ‘Drag, but didn’t get to see them. A lot of the kids are in town this weekend so I think it will be fun. Cut a pencil eraser size chunk out of my finger yesterday. It is gross and cool. Headed to B&H at lunch to buy a new camera.
\nPS There is an Onion article from Altoona this week. I always get proud when they do that.
