The power Went Out - No Heat....
This is an important question, courtesy of Homeland Security
The power Went Out - There's not heat coming out of your furnace and It's freezing cold outdoors and getting colder by the minute in the house. What would YOU do? _______________________________ What would a BLONDE do? ______________________________ (Note, if YOU are blonde, you can skip the first question) |

Start my generator! I have 2, just in case
If no gas for heat, then drain what water lines I could, antifreeze in toilet bowls, and if no wood stove go to neighbors with fireplace. although some think this question funny, its serious. a terrorist could take out power / heat in winter causing so much grief... its going to happen one day............. |

good point, it happens all the time with only a little help from Ma
Nature, imagine what could happen if someone actually did this intentionally. I would hook up the generator to the furnace and a few other appliances to continue heating the house if gas service is still available. If not, hook up the propane space heater and crack a window open to allow fresh air in (necessary for the space heater and to avoid CO problems) - also move my digital CO monitor to an outlet nearest the heater and keep a very close eye on it. I also happen to be blond. Oh yeah, nobody's mentioned FEMA yet, I think I'd give them a call and ask them to pay for me to stay indefinitely in a hotel. |

Then, we had a long power failure and freezing nights.

Cheers to you Banty!

I responded that way because I know these "blonde" jokes aren't referring to Boomer Esiason! Cheers, Banty "Banty" wrote in message ... In article , says...
