ABC News Coverage

We were contacted by an ABC reporter on Monday, asking us if we could be available for an interview around noon on Tuesday (yesterday). He indicated that the Herald-Leader article that appeared in the Lexington newspaper recently had generated some interest to do a featured segment on ABC news. Of course, we agreed to the interview, but at the time we had no idea that it would be televised last night. Evidently, the heavy rain we had yesterday forced him to higher ground and he performed the interview with a couple that is staying in another campground on higher ground. Anyway, we hope everybody saw the segment on ABC's World News last night from Campbellsville about Amazon.com and the workampers.

The rain has stopped this morning but has been replaced by snow flurries. It is getting cold again and is expected to stay this way for a couple days. We only worry about the water line freezing at night. If we disconnect the water at the outside connection it means we need to use the water pump and the fresh water holding tank for our source. Of course, the water pump has been temperamental these days.

As a change of pace last night, we went to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant, called Fiesta Mexico in Campbellsville. It was an excellent meal and very reasonable. There is also a Garcia's in town, but we heard from Hank that the Fiesta Mexico had great food and we concur.

We are scheduled to work an overtime shift of 11 hours tonight beginning at 5 PM. We'll see how that goes as it is in the middle of our 3 days off period. We want to work as much as possible for the money, but we also would like more resting time. As mentioned before, the night shift provides a little extra pay, but the way it messes up our sleeping arrangements and daily routine makes it not worth the extra pay. Should we ever come back to work here again, it would be day shift or nothing - especially since we found out that those working the day shift on weekends get the same shift differential that we get working at night. Since half of our work days are on the weekend, there is no advantage, financially, to work at night. That's about it for now...
