for all your complaining that you have no electricity, all one really has to do to become grateful is to drive down the highway and look towards the river, in many cities and towns, there you'll see a tent peaking out through the trees. I am sure these folks arent complaining because they dont have elcetricity. They are lucky to have a tent, a few blankets and maybe a fire.
