Branches a little low this morning?

Did you wake up to low hanging tree branches this morning? Me too, but the cardinal didn’t seem to mind. However, elsewhere in the metro it was a bigger problem. As of 9 am on July 21 Mid-American Energy reported that over 50,000 customers had lost power in the Des Moines area. You can check power outages anytime. Alliant Energy has a similar and more informative site. A few years ago checking power outages (if you had no power) would have seemed silly, but today so many have laptops and access cards that we can go on-line nearly anywhere. Well, time to start cutting.
