We received a couple more photos of our linemen and their face-warming beards. Stay safe out there, Aaron and Nick! #coopspowerus #gocoop #beardstyle #lineman #safetyfirst
Did you #GoRed for #WearRedDay? We are honoring the women in our lives who have suffered cardiovascular disease. Please learn more about heart health at @ahanorthdakota and @american_heart. #gocoop #coopspowerus
Basin Electric’s linemen agreed to share their face-warming beards to help us through this cold spell. As we all know, linemen often work in difficult conditions when necessary to protect our lives and property, and to maintain service to the public. #gocoop #coopspowerus #lineman #beardstyle
Freezing rain, high winds, bitterly cold temperatures, and bad driving conditions across the Upper Midwest tonight and into tomorrow. Don’t drive if you can help it, but if you do head out, take it slow. #BeSafe #ndwx #mnwx #mtwx #sdwx

Hello,
We here at No Starch Press just published “The Manga Guide to
Electricity” by Kazuhiro Fujitaki. A translation from the bestselling
series in Japan, this book uses authentic manga and real-world examples
to make learning electricity engaging, charming, and fun. We noticed
that you are interested in and write about electricity quite a bit.
Would you be interested in a review copy of “The Manga Guide to
Electricity”?
Thanks,
Travis

rwd2 on twitter. Loving the cam pics. Can you link it to the site? Thanks.
I am J,P. Rinker, and am a director of Midland Power Cooperative located in Jefferson, Iowa. I wore my Basin Electric hat ( courtesy of BEC director Charlie Gilbert }, to the recent ISU-KU football game in Ames, Iowa. I was approached by a woman who said ” whats up with the Basin hat? I haven`t
seen anything about Basin since I lived in Denver.”
She did`nt know that BEC supplied power to such a large area. I enjoy the Basin Update. Keep up the good work!
