  1. I also got an email to unplug all my appliances. LOL, not going to happen.
    But fear not they also have opened cooling centers so when they turn off your AC you can go sit in a nice propaganda room with a bunch of strangers.

  2. It’s 80 degrees here in central Pennsylvania with what feels like about 167% humidity… I can’t keep my junk from sticking to my leg… I have still not used my A/C. They raised our electric here by 33 percent.

  3. I threw some bucks into the house & had the house panel replaced with a dedicated 200 Amp service & interlock panel to plug any generator into the house.
    Dual fuel generator, Propane stock, gasoline stock, and we won’t be without power.
    Unless there’s no more fuel.
    Gotta come up with a workaround for that…maybe a siphon hose…

  5. Laughable stuff. Add the fact that REAL MEN AND WOMEN don’t drive wind-up cars. Pretty sure them wind-up drivers can always use “wind energy” and should ask the millions-of-ketchup-dollas John Kerry about that “wind-power” thing. lolol
