Right now I have a son-in-law serving in Afganistan. It's hard on him and my daughter (only 6 months married), but they know its for our country's good. It's a keen reminder for me of how well we, in the US, have it.

I'd just learn to read books a lot more. Maybe it would be good for me. But in the winter? Yikes! :cold: That's just scary. I'm glad you found a place to stay warm!

People have portable generators and hope they have enough gas to run them as long as they need to. We don't have one and I can certainly empathize with what you just lived through. Now that we have a second home in Floyd, we plan to never have to do it again. That house, by the way, got wired for a generator so if we ever do live there year round, we'll be able to have at least the basics. It's amazing how much we rely on - and take for granted - electricity. You're not alone in being spoiled. Glad all is back to normal for you.

It's a great investment! I <em>must</em> have coffee and when I blew the UPC trying to make some during an outage, Arthur bought something... larger. :D Good to have you back!! :good:
