The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Consider the Following

When you are drilling posts for a fence and you live on a solar system, you have to bring the generator out to the pasture to plug the drill into.  It won't run happily off of the house system (for long).

When you need to fill a trough, you have to connect a pump to the water tank in order to pump the water through the hose to the pasture where the trough is.

If you want to make grilled cheese sandwiches, you have to wait until the generator is on before you start the electric skillet or you will be in the dark pretty quickly.
