Has anyone seen a backup generator at the local gas station?


I only overheard the conversation and don't know the details but during
a power outage last month the guy tried to get gas. The pumps worked but
the charge cards didn't. Of course, a true survivalist, the guy had
about as much real money in his pocket as he had gas in his car when the
lights went out.
