I do not want to endure a 4-day electricity outage in freezing weather again (this time it would be with a 1-year old!). #austin #weather

@chadwick Absolutely hear that! Do you happen to own a small pop-up tent? Serious question. One of the best things you can do if the power goes out and temps start to drop is put the tent on a bed, put blankets on top to hold heat, and crawl in with the 1 year old. Bonus heat if you've got a dog you can pull in. Now as for entertaining the 1 year old, let's see what #parents #parenting can come up with.

Rooting for the #TXpowerGrid !

@sshann I’ll keep that in mind if it comes down to it!
@chadwick yet this stupid state keeps re-electing the people in charge of this. Makes me so mad.
