Thank you. I don't think most people realize where their electricity really comes from, or what the coal miners go through to do it.

Its a hard life, but he wouldn't have it any other way. His daddy, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great grandfather (and maybe more, LOL) were all coal miners. Not to mention my dad, my grandfather, etc.

I do not want my boys going in the mines, though. That's one of my bigger fears, they are going to finish college and get a nice, quiet, safe job! Its hard, though, my oldest one only sees it as I can work RIGHT NOW instead of in 4 years , you know? Doing what my daddy does. Its been a battle with him, but I'm going to win this one.

My father was in a cave in in 84, he broke his back and hasn't been the same since.
