It's terrifying how utterly reliant we (and I'm using 'we' as the human race collectively here)are on gas/electricity and how helpless we are without it. My cousin lives in Connecticut and lost power on the Monday afternoon. They got it back yesterday morning and it went out again yesterday afternoon.... Still, at least everyone is (thankfully!) in one piece.

I used to live in Sedro-Woolley, Skagit County so I know the godlike reverence for King County.

So far we have not had to use this generator for any more than a short time when our power was interrupted due to an electrical transformer blowing out.<br /><br />Oh and yippee - elections are finally over, the mudslinging and lies have ended,for a little while, and all the derogatory political commercials have ceased AND, best of all, our telephone has stopped its incessant ringing with annoying political calls. :DAlmost Precioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349435936032378395noreply@blogger.com
