Considering there are about 300,000,000 people in this country, the stats
are insignificant.

dear grime reaper minion
excellent information
very interesting to see as the need for outside electrical supply increases
the death rate increases in homes
just the other day my pal and i were discussing our apocalyptic plan and how
the apartment i live in with my lovely wife would be rendered useless if the
power were to go out for more than 24 hours
he suggested coming over to his house as he has a wood fired stove in his
basement
complete with water jacket

it is always ood to see someone is keeping stats on the foibles of man
and his desire to prove darwin correct
thanks
yours
