Those cold showers and meals cooked on the barbecue and coleman stove
got tiresome...... not to mention sitting around at night (1900 hrs
on) with just lanterns & candles.

And then there was that Ice Storm in eastern Canada back in 1998...

Yeah, a bunch of years ago we had a storm that took out our power in the
winter.. We had a brandy new baby in the house, no choice but to get a
generator. It's not a big one, but it will run the water stove, tv and
fridge for a while, then we would switch over to the furnace for a while
and cycle that all day.

Babies did not exist before generators? You dont take the baby
camping?
Drudge has a headline "HELL in HOUSTON", no power or water. I used to
live in Houston and it was hell WITH power and water. This may be an
improvement.
