I'll pick up some batteries and bottled water on the way home from work tomorrow. The biggest concern I have is losing power for an extended time. Not only does that eliminate access to FR, but it eliminates access to air conditioning.

I'd die of a heat stroke long before starvation or dehydration sets in.

LOL...this is when we all need a self contained power source for our homes (of course that'll carry our A/C's)...I understand these are available in Australia...at a cost $5,000...off the grid is my hearts desire. I never had problems out in Sugar Land with electricity...here in Katy someone can sneeze hard and we lose electricity. Amazing...

Oh, you'd make it. I was out of power last year for 6 days with Frances. It's a bitch, but survivable. And to think, I was raised during the 40's and 50's in FL without AC. We've become a bunch of pussies.

It's not the heat that gets you. It's the mosquitoes.
