We have a well, and when the power if off, we have no water.

As part of my "overreaction" to Y2K I moved out to the country and bought property that had wood stoves and a large pond.

I have only had to go out there and fill water containers once in the eight years since, but it is comforting to know it is out there if needed.

Ours was a gradual change after 9/11. We have two little streams that move through our property, so I guess we could boil water, if it came to that. You were smart to find a place with a pond.

Which always reminds me of a quote from one of the best movies ever made: "We have a pool and a pond. The pond would be good for you". :)
