My brother, who is a Journeyman Electrical Power Lineman, left Denver this morning at 6 am as part of a convoy of electricians heading to Texas to help get the power back up and running. He just got home on Wednesday from working on the clean up after Gustav.

I'm a lineman as well and we are getting ready to head east out of San Antonio. I too returned from LA on wed. after restoring Gustav power outages. Was in the Valley and Florida before that for Dolly and Fay. I hope your brother returns home safely. It's been a busy season.

I agree, thanks to you guys busting your arse in this heat and dangerous conditions I have A/C tonight. You hard working lineman are definitely appreciated.

I'll second that!

You know there is more than just returning power to homes that you are impacting. Large companies can get their stuff going on their own but I can't do as much to help the plants until I get home. If utilities aren't back I have to spend time helping the extended family cope. I can work from home if everything is working there.

Anyhow, what I am saying is thanks for getting our homes and businesses back on line and that you impact those huge companies that make money for the local employees, shareholders (anybody with a 401K or retirement investments,) local cities, states, and even our country!
