Fair enough point!
Been here 65 years next week and witnessed a lot of change, mostly bad. Where we are is way out in the sticks so things are still good. The aggressive stupidity of most in this state seems to be spreading though.

I've seen pictures and some of those old Norsemen grew horns. When I was sixteen I walked 5 miles to see a girl but evidently she felt so sorry for me she had told her dad about my problems. He told me at the end of a shotgun to take my problems some place else. That taught me I shouldn't lay it on so thick.The word that comes to mind is soft. Every generation gets a little (or lot) more soft. The story goes that my grandfather in Norway would roe his boat seven miles to date my grandmother.
We get our share of it in central Maine but hasn't been bad so far. Near 0 later this week.It was -22F with a wind chill pushing -45 it was a little bone chilling!
Things froze up all over the place around here!
God love them if we had half the ingenuity and resourcefulness of our moms we could fix tractors with a screwdriver and pliers in the dark.When I was a kid, I wore wool pants to school. I walked there and back no matter how cold it was. Unfortunately for me, I was allergic to the wool, and my legs would break out in a rash. My mother resolved the issue by lining all my pants with satin fabric so they wouldn't rub and I never had the problem again. The wool of the 1930s & 1940s is no longer used, and the wool that is used today is much softer.
Now Mom drives the kid to the end of the 50 foot driveway and keeps the engine running till the bus comes. I noticed that the school near me doesn't allow the kids to walk there, a bus will leave the school, turn the corner and drop off kids that live in houses that are next door all the while stopping traffic in both directions.When I was a kid, I wore wool pants to school.

10% remaining in propane tank isn't much. How long ago did you call to have tank filled?Eight degrees this morning. I am adding long pants and a sweatshirt to the overcoat and hat to go feed.
In a bit of a worry mode waiting for the propane delivery today. I hope it doesn't get pushed back again. We are below 10% if the gauge is reading corrently. Using propane for heating is lame. I'll need to invesigate replacing the picturesque gas log fireplace with a pellet or wood insert.
Here is what we got to deal with yesterday. What happened to global warning??

Never thought a few cold days would result in this news flash. PLEASE don't think that the majority of people from PA are really this screwed up. 20° is the average daily low temp for January in Lebanon PA.
I heat my house and shop with propane, I went from wood, then pellet to propane, would never consider going back.Eight degrees this morning. I am adding long pants and a sweatshirt to the overcoat and hat to go feed.

I had pellets when I lived in MA. Loved them. I would buy what I needed in the summner. I never ran out. The house was toasty warm all the time. Oil was my backup.I heat my house and shop with propane, I went from wood, then pellet to propane, would never consider going back.
The propane runs a 199,000 BTU Combi Boiler that is also our hot water.
I fill the tank in the fall, refill once in middle of winter then top off in the spring.
I won't have to do that once I put in my underground tank, one fill will last us all year with a margin of safety to boot.
It's cheaper, easier, cleaner, and less work to heat with propane, than wood or pellets.
You're complaint is your low on propane, well you'll have the same issue if you don't stock up on firewood or pellets.
Buying pellets is much cheaper in the summer, but you've got to have a dry place to store them till you need them, and loosing that much dry space is a killer for me.
