This is when all the people who carry cash point and laugh at all the people who live exclusively off a debit card.

....until they go somewhere and the cashier can't manually tabulate a sale or calculate sales tax.

I say that not wishing harm or damage to others, just as a guy that got some gnarly weather and no power. So I hope people don’t take it the wrong way.

My line of thinking is this.  What would people do if all of the sudden all social media was gone?  No FaceBook, no Twitter, no Instagram, etc.?  Some people would probably go nuts.  Add to that what if cell towers went down so people couldn't do anything with their phones?  Many people would probably have a melt-down.

This is coming from a guy that doesn't even watch television unless it's a game or the news.

I don't social media, but when the hurricanes blow through town and everything seems to be dead for a few days, we relied heavily on jigsaw puzzles, board/card games, and crossword puzzles to pass time.

I kinda enjoyed those breaks, but it would be nice if the fridge would be able to work during those downtimes.
