Hi Larry,

Glad you made it through the return to basic living.  We have had that 
experience a few times with the ice storms that occasionally hit our area. 
For that reason, I have gas logs in the fireplace, because gas seldom gets 
interrupted.  We have huddled around the fire on more than one occasion.
