During the ice storm I read.  At night I used seven candles, a small, five position candelabra in front and two individual, tall candles, one on each side. I did not read small print and was O.K. with seven candlepower. But an amazing amount of time was taken with keeping the fire burning, going to stores that were open, getting and setting up the generator and keeping it supplied with fuel. You might get blown away in PR, but you are not likely to freeze.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
