What I find funny is that people will spend $50 in gas to protect $20 in old freezer burned food.

I don't have a generator, but have managed fine so far. Of course, I don't have any kids to drive me crazy yet...

Plenty of food, put water in containers and froze for cold and drinking. Ate all the stuff as it defrosted. Filled bathtubs with water (duct tape on drain to keep it from leaking) and use it for flushing. Scoop out water and heat on the grill for bathing. At this point, I don't have anything left that needs refrigeration, so I don't need ice. Weather has been absolutely fabulous these past few days, so we didn't need air conditioning.

Haven't been driving all over creation rubber-necking at the damage, so I've got two cars with 3/4 tank of gas left for emergencies.

Life is good.....

The only thing I could have done better was to iron my work shirts before the storm, so I wouldn't be all wrinkley when I'm doing all my claim work!
