We's camping now!

[RoseRed]

Okay, so it's freezing cold - literally - and the power is out. Almost everyone is without heat. Do you think local officials have opened up warming centers for people to go to?

No. No they have not.

Guess why.

Seriously, guess.

Housing illegals?

Housing illegals?

Housing illegals with the COVID!?!?!

 

[Sneakers]

No camper buddies with a generator and heat?

If I were you guys, I'd be seriously concerned about the camper plumbing and waste tanks freezing and splitting.

The average temp in SPI in February is 74 degrees. I'm thinking generators and auxiliary heat sources get the boot to make room for pleasant weather accessories.

Maybe, but a genny is usually just part of the camper hardware. Someone has to have one.

Yep. We have at least two with us on every campout...in the middle of summer.

Well, when you roll, you basically take a small self-contained town with your own zipcode.

Okay, but that is to run the window AC unit when the temp gets over 80.

That is exactly why I have zero desire to RV, camp, roll-around the country.

I prefer to do that at home on my backyard patio.

 

[my-thyme]

Smores. Oh. Yum. Now I want one.

Yup, got all the stuff. Let me just open this wood stove up......

Even with extraordinary demands, I can't imagine a power plant going offline.

 

[kwillia]

Didn't find the article about the power outage, but did find.... the TURTLES!

Cold-stunned sea turtles found on South Padre Island following severe winter weather (krgv.com)

China?

Ok, I just found a disadvantage to a pellet stove.... can't open the door while it's running.

We never use it so Neal didn't get it serviced when it was in the shop last time.

That's always the way of things.
