I'm surprised he never got one, especially with the sometimes frequent power outages.

It would probably take losing all the food in the freezer after an
extended outage for it to finally sink in that we should have one
and especially because we have no water if the power goes out.
Out here we're on an electric powered well...not city water.

The longest we've been without power was in the wake of a 
summer storm two summers ago....21 hours.
