I finally get my own thread. I may cry.
So far, called Mother to inform her she would have 3 visitors for a few days. ---- Not a happy mother to say the least when we told her we were bringing the Pup.
Hubby went out to Home Depot and talk about price gouging, last years kerosene heaters at $80.00 now on sale for $200.00. Yikes, but what can one do. It may come in handy later on in the winter. 23,000 BTU's so should keep the place warm at least to 65 degrees for some time.
Tomorrow off to Walmart for a campers stove that uses small propane bottles, easy way to cook up hot water for tea, coffee or hot soup. Needs no ventilation-------
The house is over 200 years old and I fear we may get more ventilation then needed anyway.
Water in jugs to place in the freezer, Poor Hubby is not happy about all the extra expense BUT if not needed it may come in handy at another time.
So this may become a non event, but everything we buy can be used down the road in case of ice storm or blizzard. Never know we can go for many years without a disaster hitting us and we all get laid back as we nudnicks believe there is no reason to prepare to the hilt.
There was a storm in the early 1970's that came into the Boston area, people were freezing to death in their cars, cars ran off the roads and the snow plows covered them up. No one knew the cars were there until the snow melted. Mom sent me the newspaper clippings to read on a beach in Hawaii, dad noted in the margins, for me to allways buy a bright yellow car as they are the easiest to see in any damaged area.
Starting to get a bit Antsy now. But this is a survival method in some ways, depending on the damage and the after math I am considering bring along some hand guns to protect against the looters.
Katrina was Bushes fault, so Sandy may become Obamas fault if he handles this like he does the Middle East.
