It's fucking COLD AS SHIT in parts of the US right now. Below please read about a poster who is helping out some neighbors during these FREEZING ASS times:
It's TRACE!
It's TRACE!
How cold is it?
that cold
Soooo someone slammed into a utility pole last night.
While I'm fine and dandy, full house generators are the shit, I'm pretty sure most of my neighbors are freezing their genitals off.
power outage update
I've got pretty much a house full of neighbors cause I'm the only one around here with a full house generator and frankly, it's fucking cold.
at last count it's like 10 kids between the ages of 3-15 and 6 adults.
two of the adults brought whiskey. They were given the closest spots to the fire. I've got my old PS2 hooked up and the kids are currently playing Kingdom Hearts (the original) on it and boy some minds were blown when they got off Destiny Islands.
also we're looking at several hours to get power restored still because holy shit the maniac who hit the utility pole snapped the fucker in half and it's so goddamn cold with the wind that actually working on it is dangerous because of frostbite.
and also high wind speeds in general.

fucking idiots
Someone was tailgating me the whole way to work and was upset I wasn't doing 15 over the speed limit.
Yeah buddy the roads are icy as shit and that salt ain't going to help you and neither is 4wd so we're going to go 20 in this here 35 and you're gonna have to suck my big fat dick.
oh man, i saw the car that did it too flying down my road at like 55mph and immediately knew something bad was gonna happen.
I heard the boom when he hit, saw the power go out, heard the generator kick on and shook my head.
Update number 2
I stuck a sign out front of the house letting the people from the power company know they could stop in for something hot to drink/eat and to warm up if they needed too.
They are currently in the kitchen drinking coffee and waiting for people to get back to them before they can actually get to work. According to them we're pretty much screwed until the afternoon/evening hours cause most everyone got today off cause of the weather and they're having to call people in and stuff.
Wife is currently making a giant fucking pot of vegetable beef soup and the two youngest kids pretty much passed out in the dog bed, with the dogs, while watching Kingdom Hearts.
Boss beaten, glass of whiskey obtained, the folk from the power company are fucking hilarious, and people have offered to run to the grocery store if need be.
Power guys are back. Another hour and a half before the new pole gets down there and then more hours inbetween that and the rest of the equipment showing up and then more hours getting it all put back together.
On the bright side one of the neighbors is on his way to grab a ton of pizza.
This pizza has finally arrived and the kids are climbing all over each other to get to it. Soup is almost done too.
Power guys are stoked for the soup.
Also the cake is done, and the power folk are back on the job, with two slices of cake each.
Hopefully this shit can get finished before night falls but if it doesn't I'm going to have a very full household come bed time.
Alright, the kids -finally- reached the boss for Alice in Wonderland.
Time to go watch all of them fail it and then step in and prove my awesomeness once again

"It's winter!"
"yeah so, I wanted a milkshake."
"BUT WHY?"
They couldn't fathom that I had a craving for a milkshake so I bought one. Like there's rules for when and how you can eat foods. As if you can't have bacon and eggs or cereal for dinner or something.
Ya this is the time to pimp your mixtape
