If it wasn't enough that Triangle Shell Manager Kalpesh Patel had to contend with severe storms and rain last Thursday night here in Hohenwald, then the power went down for much of the county and certainly all of Hohenwald, including him.

Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley. It rained last night, now this morning the sun is shining, everything is clean, the trees are greening out and the dogwood trees are almost in bloom. The air is fresh and clean and smells so good. The cats have finished their breakfast and they are sitting in the warm sunshine. I’ve got my cup of coffee and, like the cats, I’m enjoying the sunshine also. Spring is in the air. Well lately we’ve had some bad weather, terrible thunder and lightning and very hard rain. We watched the creek...
