It's a few blocks down the hill to my buddy's. Even without power he has natural gas cook stove and a big barbecue outdoors and a woodstove in the basement. And spare bedrooms. The 4Runner, with new tires, will make it there even if I go through the field, we really don't have snow on the ground, most of it is in the Dakotas by now.

I'm okay even if things get bad. Always establish options.

I've had a ton of nurses/aides out due to RSV and covid - no combo cases yet Maru Kitteh Dec 2022 #16

I think that gets factored in, even here. Also, our roads departments are understaffed Maru Kitteh Dec 2022 #40
