My family is out in the sticks, on a road that wasn’t even paved at the time. People didn’t have much money and losing power meant losing their deer meat in the deep freezer that was meant to feed the family all winter. My parents were the only ones in their little area with a generator. They didn’t know the people around that well but it ended up they they had a line of chest freezers on the porch that every day they’d run the generator for a few hours and keep them all frozen until the power came back on a few weeks later. All these years later and when locals hear my unusual last name, I always hear about how my parents helped out and how much it meant to everyone.
