    Running water
    Electricity
    Grocery shopping

    ** local store just had computer issues. I breezed in and they said, sorry we cannot serve you. They made us leave. I told the lady I have cash but they couldn't even accept cash because they could not control inventory. I sat in my car and pondered how long they would have that attitude if the lights went out for good.

    On the plus side (if there is such a thing) Internet pron has finally killed off all those sleazy XXX "movie rental" places....at least around here. The Cat houses are still in business tho.....sorry - therapeutically correct massage joints.

    Um, no.
    It's Texas. It's hot, and when your winters do 8 degrees one day and 92 the next there's little point in shutting the a/c off.
