I asked my new neighbor down here in AZ: where are you from?
Maine, comes the answer.
Maine is a great place to live. But, you got to love cold weather. Which means you have to be prepared. Like filling up your gas tank when you’re half full. You never know when you are going to have some kind of outage. Another thing, have cash. A lot of the small gas stations process their credit cards through telephone lines. If the lines are down, you can’t purchase gas unless you have cash.
