So there is a winter storm coming. And I'm hemming and hawing about buying a generator. I'm looking at a Honda 2000. I don't want a whole house generator, just something I can run the furnace and the fridge off.
If the power doesn't go out, I'm going to have buyers remorse over the $1000 red brick sitting in my garage. That $1000 could go to more urgent needs....like a 1911. If it does go out, I will bask in manly glory as my family is warm and snug, while my neighbors suffer like the unprepared scum they are. I'll hook up the X-mas lights just to spite them.
Even if the power does not go out tomorrow, it will out at some point in the future, and I will feel like a genius.
I am suffering cognitive dissonance. Help.
