one thing we can all agree upon

[telebob x]

It is a cold sonofabitch out there...since I live in an all-electric dream 
home of the 50's I hang by a lifeline of one stinky little wire coming to my 
house to keep me out of the local gymnasium.

I went looking last night for emergency space heaters powered by something 
other than electricity and nobody had nuthin...

It put me to thinking...how ill-prepared most of us are for any real 
interruption of the present luxurious infrastructure we are. (Duct tape 
aside) How many are prepared with water and food supply, alternate heat and 
lighting, or communication?  Enough for at least 3 days?

The only one I know who is ready for action is Ed Alexander down in Real.  
Big water tanks, generators, the whole ball of beans.

Given the possibility of some future unpleasantness, I think it would 
behoove all of us to start thinking about what would happen during a FEMA 
scenario. I think many of us would be in highly problematic situations. 
Maybe it is time to make some preparations...however tentative.

Just musing on this cold-ass day.
