I understand that power could be out for some time in NOLA because of major damage to their power system. This was on my mind as I looked up at the pole that sits in my side yard, as a part of the main distribution of power and communications to? the west side of Tullahoma.? The poles in NOLA seemed to be of a similar configuration, and suffered damage, but their biggest problem was the loss of? eight major transmission lines. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20210830-P8300681-Enhanced.JPG.html On the cloudy day, the most impressive flora of the day was this Honeysuckle vine climbing on the rhododendron bushes. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/20210830-P8300683-Enhanced.JPG.html -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
