aaahh…just another week around here in Coffeyville. Let’s see, they say the ground has shook under our feet, tornadoes not so far away, amazon gearing up for the holidays, problems here in the park. Just another week…
Let’s just start off by saying the temps have been like a roller coaster around here. Up, down, up, down. We get a few days into the 70’s with lots of sunshine. But with that sunshine we also get the winds. Then here comes a round of storms, spouting off tornados. Luckily none near us, however this past week what was thought to be an EF2 turned out to be an EF4 and it was heading in our direction. But it never reached us and all we got from it was winds, torrential rain and lots of lightning and thunder. A rude awaking at midnight.
Then a few hundred miles south of us in central OK they have been having earthquakes-the strongest being 5. something on the Richter Scale. I don’t recall feeling that particular one. But one night after going to bed, we felt the motorhome move and thought it was just another wind downburst; but I guess it wasn’t-it was actually the earth moving. Now scientist are scrambling to figure out if these Earthquakes are natural or due to oil pressure from oil companies drillings.
Now at Amazon.com I was told that I would be moving to a different area along with 4 other folks-which never happened and now don’t know if it will. They started talking about the “black-out” period starting the day after Thanksgiving. If and sound like it could be a big IF (according to the rumors that seem to fly around) we should get overtime-starting with 10 hours extra, possibly going to 20 hours of OT. As fast as they talk about that-then they go around asking anyone who wants to take VTO (voluntary time off). AND at the same time-they are asking for VOT (voluntary over time) for this next Thursday. Of course I was the first to put my name on the list for the VOT. Such a crazy place I work at-but I do like it. And will return again next year!
Here at Big Chief Park-they are having their own share of problems. But it’s the owners own fault for these problems. With all the recent rain and downpours, once again a large rig punch through and this time it didn’t break the water line-but the electric line! Knocked out power to 5-6 rigs; making a few unhappy campers. Down the road a ways seems to be yet another large water leak. However-they claim it’s still standing water from the recent rain-although everywhere else has dried up. The camper in that spot has to waddle almost to get to his vehicle and can’t even get to the back side of his rig.
While checking out the bathrooms/showers the manager’s assistant was spraying down the showers with a combination of Lysol and bleach. I made the statement that that won’t keep the mold and mildew away and that he’s going to have to put some muscles into cleaning. His come back was that’s as good as it’s going to get and if they don’t like they can shower with the mold and mildew…I wonder how far that will go before campers start complaining…When he hoses down the bathrooms-they stay constantly wet and always standing water when you walk in-even in the toilet area…poor planning is all I have to say.
So as I said: It’s just another week around here in Coffeyville-wonder what next week will be like?
