Dave,
When the Power Goes "Off" for an Hour or More : Then
Everyone Lives in the Middle of an Electrical NoWhere :
* No{Where} AC for the TV / Radio
* No{Where} AC for the Internet / PC
* No{Where} AC for the Lights / Heater
* No{Where} AC for the Microwave / Coffee Pot
* No{Where} AC for the Refrigerator / Stove
* No{Where} AC for the Washer / Dryer
* * The 'basic' Home Phone may work but the
Cordless Phone and Cellphone just might not.
The only place most people have with News,
Lights and Heat is Setting in their Car or Truck
with the Engine Running and that is not good
to do in their Garages. {Best Done Outdoors
in the Drive Way and Off the Street.}
Dave - So it is 'being' a Dip**** to recommended that :
