I've been without electricity for 8 frackin dayz I don't know what's happening is Bush still the president? Got a good feeling what it was like to be around in the early 1900's damn good thing i have a real wood burning firebox not a for look's fireplace, and had just cut 2 ric's of wood........................A generator was the life saver so i wasn't completely without electricity, after 3 dayz I had TV and sat, refrig but i still had to travel a little distance to my parents so we could shower! Kid's were out of school for a week it's good to be back!!!!!
