There are times when it's tempting to daydream what it would be like to time-travel back to the those days, to meet the early players and people like Bud Holman.

Well vero nearly had a crap storm on social media.a concerned citizen called fpl about lights put .he posted each week that it wasn't fixed.I went put lat week to verify it and called it in last sunday.it was fixed this week.fpl said to him they are on it.fpl isn't in that location.I thought he was wrong but I didn't want to ruffle feathers and let it go.fpl should have told him its not us.perhaps they did and he got confused or they do run power all the up from their end to city limits.I have seen some whacky things.fpl poles and right of way on the city electric side.city poles holding up fpl lines.city sub station in fpl territory as a fpua tie in.

There's a town nearby that has two separate superintendents... 1 for the elementary & middle schools...1 for the high schools. Talk about confusing!
