BeachKitten--one would think so... Someone decided to take out a light pole somewhere around here last night and we were out of power for about three hours. That was fun. Not. We have a pretty big generator that will run most of our house, including the well pump and ceiling fans, and a room a/c unit, so we can at least get cool. Since it's getting to be that time of year, we need to get some gas for it..
