Heh, I heard that! Hubby thinks they won't be that much of a problem, because the folks who whined so much about the outages will be the first to starve to death, or freeze to death, waiting for someone to take care of them.
I was mostly distressed that people who are supposedly ‘tough New Englanders’ can’t handle a week without power. I’ve lived in the wilderness for longer than that with just a 50lb pack.
Maybe I’d be better off moving to Maine or someplace down South where people can handle a bit of hardship without turning into a bowl of wimpering jell-o.
I also would rather be surrounded by armed rednecks than these wimps. A woman who grew up in NYC was on the Jim Vicevich show and couldn’t believe how selfish and whiny her community was during this power outage. She suggested this behavior didn’t happen where she lived in NYC when they lost power, that people looked out for each other.
