That’s the thing about a power outage. To some it’s a catastrophe while to others it’s an adventure.A bit too rustic for my tastes.

Yep, I'm a country boy for sure. I don't abandon 19th century and early 20th century technology because it requires a little work. The nice thing about solutions invented before electricity is that they always work. My wood stove is a home utility that provides many kw equivalent of energy any time I need it, and makes use of nature's solar collectors to concentrate the fuel. When the power goes out, the comfort of my home doesn't change, and outdoors it turns into a Currier and Ives print.A bit too rustic for my tastes.

I was all set to buy a 2019 Ford Fusion Titanium off-lease for a few pennies over $20k back in 2020. I him-hawed on it for a week, and it sold just before I called the dealer. That was just about the time Covid was taking ahold. The same car today, going on four years older, is selling for about $25k. I decided I'd just hold onto my old GMC pickup.Fine with me.
