Things I Will Not Miss

One of the things I will not miss about the Sandbox is days like this...where the electricity and the water are off all over town. Normally during the winter both electricity and water are pretty good. And even when one is off usually the other is on. We have a generator and turn it on after the power has been out for a few hours and when the water is off you can always drive across town to a friend's house and shower there. But every once in a while you get a day where neither works and what do you do then? I guess I'm just complaining...and dreaming of a place where you don't have to fix dinner with rubber gloves on because you won't be able to wash your hands after you cut the raw chicken.
