[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 432278, member: 605"] Yep, I worked at the coal mine for 28 years. The fines went to Basin Electric and lump coal went to Dakota Gas. The gas went into a pipeline for Chicago. We heated a large percentage of Chicago. The people there voted for Obama who said in so many words coal is the devil. Ungrateful idiots. There absolutely could not be a disruption in service. Shift work 5 am to 3 pm or 3pm to 1 am. One night it was blowing cold and snowing hard. They needed someone to stay over and operate blade keeping roads open. I volunteered. At 3 am heading home 4 wheel drive pickups drove down the middle of the road and it was blown shut. My little Ford Ranger would be high center so I drove on the shoulder. Had to keep momentum up to slide over drifts and snow would get into the alternator dimming the lights. When it would kick in again the belt would squeal and things would get bright until the next drift. 20 miles of that. We were dedicated. [/QUOTE]
