I had that very conversation with my wife last night, Mike. I fear she's a bit more of a believer in humanity's essential goodness than I am and doesn't really think that being the only prepared household in the neighborhood would make us a target. Right now, I think the benefits of being able to run refrigeration, comms, and a trickle of hot water and hot food may be outweighed by the potential for locusts to descend. If we weren't in suburbia, I'd see the issue differently, though I'd still want to build some sort of sound-dampening enclosure for the equipment (maybe a buried pit, too, providing I could arrange adequate drainage).
