Maybe not, but nearly every thread ends up there anyway. I think it's a corollary of Godwin's law or something.

Re: Heating and power outages
Texas is a strange place. It is where all schoolkids from K-12 recite a pledge to the Texas Flag every single day after the regular pledge of allegiance. And it is the only place I have ever seen where HS kids will fly a giant Texas flag from the back of their pickup trucks and college kids will hang it in their dorm rooms. When was the last time you saw a HS kid from Ohio or Oregon do such a thing?

The Ohio State flag, sure. The Ohio state flag, not so much.

Now that you mention it, I don't think I ever have seen the young folks from OH or OR hang Texas flags in their dorm rooms.Ken wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2024 2:46 pmTexas is a strange place.

Re: Heating and power outages
We have our winter camping gear so we'd be OK, but an extended power outage would cause pipes to freeze. We could close off our kitchen and have water heating on our gas stove, but the oven doesn't work without electricity, nor does our furnace.
I don't think we've had more than two or three days without power and have been fine.

Re: Heating and power outages
We have natural gas heaters that work while the electricity is off. The furnace won't work without electricity, though. The gas stove works but the oven doesn't.
We do have a generator we can use if we need to run things with electric.
