Well, this was an exciting day.
In the afternoon, I heard the
grader going by. We live on
one of the few dirt roads
left in Kootenai. And then
a few minutes later, I look
out the window and see
a fire truck blocking the
intersection. I see firemen
walking around. Then I
look down the street and
see a truck. Then another
one comes.
Well, such things, leads
to noseiness. Got to know
what is going on. So walked
over to the guys who are
gathering near the fire
truck.
Seems the grader hit
the gas line at the end
of the street. And sure
enough there was a
cloud and the smell.
In came some more
equipment.
It happen a little after
2pm. They had to shut
off the gas. Dig up the
pipe, as the grader
had bent the pipe and if
I understood it right,
broke it.
They worked on it
into the night. Coming
around and turning off
everyone's meter at about
6:45p.m.
Luckily for us it was
a warm day. As it was
about 8:50 p.m. When
they return to turn on
the gas. They also wouldn't
let us light our own heaters.
A nice young man came
and lit it for us about that
time.
For a small town we sure
have had quite a bit of
excitement. An accident
a month ago, that had
a log truck down in
a ditch and rammed
into the mud. Luckily
no one was badly
hurt.
Maybe I should start
a blog about the going
on's in our little town.
