Without gasoline...

* How would you get to medical care?
* How would you get to work?
* How would you get items to maintain your home and household?Well, I don't use gasoline (or petrol, since I'm in England) now as I don't drive. I have never been able to afford it. I know I won't run out, I guess ( ... )

Gasoline is one issue, but electricity concerns me even more.

My family would be in bad shape if the electric grid went down. Our only heat source is a propane furnace, and that won't work without the electric blower fan. No fireplace in the house. No way to cook without electricity.

That is probably why one of my goals in the next few weeks is to purchase and have installed a home sized electric generator that can run on propane. At least we'll be able to go a month or two if the electric grid starts acting up.
