How do you guarantee your power won’t go out in a storm?
Cats: Uncategorized|Buy yourself a generator.
How do you guarantee a winter without snow?
Buy yourself a snow blower.
Rather than thinking of these purchases as solutions to the problems for which they are designed, think of them as ways to avoid the problem in the first place.
Trust me, it works.
Just go out any buy one for yourself.

I don’t know. I have a three year old snow blower that has seen a lot of use. It’s ready for it’s 6000 mile oil change.

But do you have enough water and soda crackers to go with that generator.
Why “soda crackers,” you ask? Because they keep just short of forever and no one will be tempted to eat except for dire emergencies.

That must be some coffee maker!
I waited to buy a generator (still waiting). Y2K generator purchases are an example of the fear to which you speak. I have been waiting for those same generators to come up for resale. I’m assuming that little hiccup where the entire eastern seaboard lost power due to ? is why I still don’t have a generator.

Doc, your stats say you live in Florida????
Cormac, funny that, we have a box of the things in the basement for emergencies. Do they have a shelf life, I wonder
Dick, yep its a kick-butt little generator we have

It’s a shame that the same theory doesn’t hold true with things like exercise equipment and gym memberships. You buy a treadmill and you never have to use it because suddenly you become naturally fit and fabulous without lifting a finger.

Buying a snow blower might actually be cheaper than the gas required to run it soon. I think it’d liven up our garage too.

So how do I prevent my country from electing brainless idiots?
Am I supposed to buy an open one way ticket to Canada before it happens?

Barbara, pity, that.
*Sigh*
Allison, yes and cheaper than the gas to run the car too. We should all just become hermits this winter
Chance, sadly this country is about to elect brainless idiots who are graduated from the same school as your Repubs.

Brilliant!
I have not had a tree, or large tree limb, fall down on my house or in my yard since I bought a chainsaw.
