We joked with Jason about a generator.

I have thought about one for some time, but I am of two minds. (at least )

Argument one: If I lose power, having a generator could keep my fridge and freezer going, at least in the short term. It would depend on how much gasoline I had squrrelled away.

Argument two: If I lose power, do I want others who did NOT prepare to know I have a generator, gasoline, and that I am using said generator to insure longer shelf life of my cold goods.

I am curious to know what you all think. Do you have generators? Would you use them? OR be wary of using them due to various and sundry mis-begotten souls who might target you BECAUSE you have an operating generator?

Get one if you have frequent outages. If your neighbors are the grasshopper type and don't prepare and don't help each other, F*&k' m. If they're the kind of neighbors who either prepare or leave town until power is restored, or they're the kind of neighbors that help each other and watch out for each other, let them have some fridge space for thier spoilable medicines.
