Between Frances and Ivan, I was talking to a friend in Angleton, Texas. He said he had a 100-kw generator that was an older standby unit that had only 200 hours on it. He offered it to me at a price that was too good to pass up. I decided to go get it since the demand for generators here was going though the roof. We couldn't find any south of the Mason-Dixon line or east of the Mississippi. About that time, Ivan reared its ugly head, and I was wondering if it would be safe to leave my family. They've never been in the middle of a hurricane before, and if evacuation was necessary, I would have to decide and make plans and order everybody to load up, etc.
