I'm always intrigued by the Biolite stoves that can burn sticks or twigs, and besides heating food/water, they create power for a USB port that can recharge a cell phone.
My whole house generator turns itself on weekly for exercise - that's what they call it in the run log.
Now you'll be ready for anything. Could do a practice session/rehearsal where you go through the steps to prepare a meal, and pretend the power is out for several hours - we discovered that we forgot to get a little camping stove to heat the stew, and hadn't put any books or playing cards in the kit.
Jonquils are up already? There's been years when we had a warm winter and the spring bulbs would come up this early, and then we'd get a lot more cold weather and everyone would worry about them.
Electric water heaters have the temperature adjustment behind a panel that screws off. The gas ones have an easy to see & adjust knob, so I'm thinking yours is electric.
Let's hope she doesn't go get another puppy because they're cute.
Maybe you've got some other things the plumber could look at while he's there. One time we had to call a plumber to replace a sink drain, and Mr. I-Can-Do-It-Myself was so thrilled he had the guy do a couple of other things while he was here. It was heart-warming.
Do your local ordinances allow you to make a complaint about leash law non-compliance without the dog owner knowing it was you? Around here, a lot of dog owners act like leash laws are for wimps and don't apply to them because they overestimate how well-trained their dogs are, and they think everyone has to love those dogs.

Making your own, you know what's in it.
Now I'm craving shrimp, but when I go to the store I'll probably buy chicken instead.
That's good to know. Some of my neighbor ladies want me to go see it with them, so now I can look forward to it.
Quite a story. I wonder if we'll see it on American Greed. One would expect a venerable institution like that to have better security and better inventory policies in place.
Years ago in a Rochester NY-area restaurant the guy at the next table was telling his family "In Denver where all the beef is raised, they just go to the supermarket to get the best steaks in the country." And I was thinking: "Not true! All the good meat gets sent somewhere else."
