If it's that cold, how does the meat go rotten so fast?
He couldn't put it out on the balcony if it's sub-freezing weather?
My thoughts, too. I live in north Idaho. We have power outages all the time. Most of us have generators for such emergencies. I usually load mine up and run around to all the old folks I know and fire up their forced air heaters. If ya do that once a day, it keeps the chill outa the house. Hell, in the winter time, we don't even plug in the freezer. Been below 10 degrees for over a week. DUmmies don't live here, wonder why?
I feel for you guys; this is one of those experiences I should have, but never have had.
I live on the very fringe of the county public power district, and it's miles and miles to the next customer.
As such, virtiually no maintenance has been done on the power lines here since.....1948 or something.
Everything's very old, and I assume considerably less than state-of-the-art; I suppose with one single customer at the end of this line, I'm not considered "high priority" (which makes sense).
We've had some hellacious blizzards, cold snaps, floods, tornadoes, and windstorms the years I've been here, some of them record-breaking.
Other parts of the county have had downed power at one time or another, usually more than once.
<<<has yet to have that happen; has never gone without power.
And being a single adult male, no one dependent upon me other than the cats, if such an outage were to occur, I imagine I could handle it better and more easily than those who have such responsibilities. But it's never happened.
I'm either very lucky, or God must like me.
I don't believe in luck, Coach. I'll go with the second, heh, heh!
