Are you ready for your next power outage? I'm not but I think I've found a new hobby, a most valuable hobby:
SURVIVAL
Let's say the lights go out, and everything else does too. No power, nada. Holy shit! Stumble through the house looking for the breaker box?
CANDLES
You flip the switch.....still no power. Your throat's dry from that red wine last night.
WATER
You have an ample amount of bottled water in the house (where it cannot freeze) so you drench your thirst but damn, "Baby, it's cold outside and it's just about as cold in here!"
WOOD to burn
You make your way to the living room with your candle or your Zippo lighter, the one with the US flag on it and you reach for the TV cause you wanna see if this stuff is on the news. Dead. Right, no power, no TV.
COMMUNICATION DEVICE
So how do we communicate when all power is out? You tell me. I'm just an expert in the comms field; I hate telephones anyway. Smoke signals? Don't need them here where I live. All I have to do is look out the window and I see half the town looking back at me with the same perplexed looks on its face. "You got power?" "No" "Damn" "I got some Rum!" "Be there in a jiff!".
You slap your old blue jeans on and grab your coat, rush out of the house to greet your neighbor and his bottle of Rum, yummy. Oops, you slip on the ice, fall and boom bang, your arm is broken. Holy shit! Now we're fucked!
FIRST AID KIT (and what it takes to use it right : TRAINING)
After a single glass of Rum and some mutual back slapping, you and your neighbor both come up with the same idea at the same time. Aint we humans sumthing else!
FOOD
It's cold out so the food in the fridge can't go bad all too quick. Wrong. 3 days max in the best fridge and your stuff is trash. Outside where it's freezing, it freezes and is trash. Heavy subject. Who knows more? Beans and Rice in large quantities in sealed plastic barrels? Sounds okay. I love beans. Beans, beans, American fruit. The more you eat the more you toot. The more you toot, the better you feel so eat more beans at every meal!
Well, you get the point.
PREPARE
