Still cussin Lucifer, I threw a kick at his hind end, missed, and slipped in the wet stuff under my feet. By managin to twist myself toward Lucifer, who was makin tracks for the bedroom, I went down in a heap, landin on top of 60 or 70 pounds of scared fur. Damn, I said, to whoever it was still rappin, come on in. If I done broke anything, you can get the ambulance. By the time I got this much out, Lucifer was chewin away on my wrist, tryin to see if there was any blood left. I managed to dislodge him and raise myself up some, thinkin that toe only reason I kept that critter around was cause I hated him so bad. And life would lose a little somethin if a body didnt have somethin around to hate. Now, ol Wild Bill, he hated women. Hated em the way most folks hate sin. Or virtue, dependin on your leanins. I remember one time, about three months before he took off, that there was this kind old widder lady who had eyes for Bill. She dogged him like a cougar after its dinner. Bill tried everything short of burnin her out, but she wouldnt give in. Shed bring him hot bread, just out of the oven;Billd feed it to his dog.Hathought shed try to kill him just sos she could tend him while he was ailin. So when he done disappeared, I thought he just mighta took off to get away from his admirer. Course I didnt mention that to nobody. It was mighty embarrass in for Bill. Well, anyway, while I was still pickin my body up off the floor and plantin a good boot in Lucifers backside, the door opened, and standin there in nothin but his long johns was Bill hisself(sic). I was so surprised you coulda shoveled two tons of snow through the hole under mv nose. While I was standin there a gawkin. Bill, he slithered through the door like one of them boa constrictors.

In fact, after a site with enough water and coal is selected, three years are needed just for the environ mental studies and regulatory approval. The next five years are spent designing and constructing the plant. So today, Utah Power engineers and planners are designing generating capacity of an additional two million kilowatts that we will need hv 1982. Thats a staggering increase compared to the 1,783,000 kilowatt capacity the company has today. And since youre a customer, you have a right to know that Utah Power has very precise planning underway to meet your power needs in the years ahead. i : ' |
