Thanks UBE Quilting for bringing this up. I lived in Miami when Andrew hit and I remember the linemen from New Orleans were still there many months later. While these guys were put up in a very good hotel, I don't think that is the case of the "short timers", just a normal hotel and allowance for meals, none of the comforts of home, including family. And we never realize the strain it is on the families of these workers. So a big thanks to a lot of folks!
