What is up?

Just, it's hot.

It's like, uh, oh, is it?

So like you, you have, you have heat there somehow.

Yeah, I'm like, I'm like sweating in my, in my bedroom, um, you know, talking to you.

I got the door closed and it's like, it's pretty hot in here.

Really?

Really.

Because I haven't had power for three days and we're trying to heat the whole house with two space heaters hooked up to a generator. And it's not warm here. Yeah. We were, I was ranting about this before we started recording. But it's like I remember I lived in Washington for 19 years. For 19 years, I heard the same thing every winter.

Oh, my God, it's going to be really windy next week. They're saying the power is going to go out. Or, oh, my gosh, the tree fell on the power. Or, oh, my God, it's like a rain and storm. Power's going to go out. Well, they say they'll get it back on by six. And it's just like, has anyone ever thought once in their lives?

Like, why don't we solve the problem?

Not wait till a bunch of trees fall in a bunch of power. six and it's just like has anyone ever thought once in their lives like why don't we solve the

problem not not wait till a bunch of trees fall in a bunch of power lines and then wake some

crew up at 3 a.m and send them out there in the dark in the cold like why don't you what why don't

you fix the problem like when spring and summer come and it's not constantly raining, either cut down the trees

around the power lines or put them underground or do something. But it's like I just felt for like

20 years. Like I'm the only one who's thinking on like a broad systemic level, you know?

Everyone else is just solving the problem when it happens. It's like, why don't you actually

solve it? But no, no, just every year. As long as there have been power lines in Washington State, this has been a problem because the weather is constant. It's always the same every year. Every winter is the same. Well, it's funny because the power went out at 9 a.m. on Thursday morning. Right now it's Saturday at 5 p.m. The power went out at like 9 a.m. on Thursday morning because of a windstorm. No, no, no, no, no. It went out at 2 a.m. on Thursday morning because of a windstorm. And I woke up and I'm like, I know, I could look at the outage map and it was like widespread. And I like, I know how how this goes and I've never gone and gotten a generator before, but I know that we've tried to go to generate it. If you try to go get a generator the morning of the power outage, you're too late. There won't be any generators. You can't get any until the next time after the power outage, you know. So I get on Home Depot.com,

I order a generator like 2.30 in the morning to pick up at the store in Isoquot at 6 a.m.

I go get up at 5.45 a.m. I go get the generator. I bring it home. I think to myself,

well, I think myself, I got a generator that does propane
