Seriously, I have oil heat, so I just need something to power the switches/ignition, the refrigerator and the well pump. Maybe the microwave, but if I have fire, I can heath or cook things. I almost put some chicken in some aluminum foil and threw it in the coals, but I bought a chicken sub at Subway instead.

Not so seriously, I don't know if a small generator would run my computer and TV. (The guy across the street had his big flat screen TV in his guy hangout fired up with his gennie.)

Gnu, it's not a lack in IQ, it's the common sense that's missing plus a belief that one is immortal.
