In Case of Emergency

One of the added benefits we've considered of buying an RV soon is how helpful it can be to have a second home on wheels in case of emergency.

We live in earthquake country. Plus, we have a fifth season on the calendar: Fire season. In case, God forbid, of a fire or earthquake, it would be reassuring to know that we would have access to a home away from the danger zone.

Sure, we are looking for every possible reason to purchase an RV. And, we were beginning to think we might be stretching to near the outer limits with this one.

Until yesterday.

The thermometer crossed the century mark here yesterday, which means Fire season is in full swing on this first weekend of Summer. We arrived from work to a very toasty home and a couple of pretty grumpy kitties. So, we flipped the switch to our AC and were ready for some instant relief.

Nothing!

It seems our home AC is toast. So, we're simmering through the hottest weekend of the year.

And, yes, we've wondered what we'd do today if we already had an RV. Yep, we'd pack ourselves and the cats up and head for a campground with our basement air blazing.

That's a relief!
