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. 
  
Same here growing up, a well that ran off of electricity.
That was one of the main reasons why my Dad had a generator - and for the big fridge and extra freezer.

I forgot to mention - it looks like rain for me tomorrow.
