It's just amazing how many things I don't have that would get me over the outage bump. I don't have a cell phone or a car (with a charger in it). I used to do my work on a typewriter, but even that was electric after 1960 or so. My old gas stove had a pilot light, but the new one needs electricity to light, so I wouldn't be able to heat the "butt-kicking cold-assed" water even if I had a nearby creek. I couldn't even build a bonfire to heat water because it's raining. Hideous!
