2. Oh, don't get me started. I live in VA and our power goes out ALL THE TIME, even when

there's no storm! It drives us nuts. After one of the hurricanes it was out for 18 days. It goes out for several hours at a time for no discernible reason. A slight wind will cause loss of power for hours or a day. We also live in a neighborhood that has buried lines, but all lines feeding the neighborhood are not! Big fat help that is.

Since we go RVing, we bought a generator that can run our RV when we're boondocking AND will also keep a few lights and the fridge on. It's maddening.
