Sorry, being in the Chicago area its my sad attempt at humor. There were a lot of emotions wrapped up on that stuff locally.
Hey, they burn down Detroit every Halloween, so how far-fetched is it?
but with kids older I do think about keeping a gun more handy.
Sounds like you have a real discipline problem!
Loss of TV - a big deal to me, but it would make the wife happy.
I haven't turned on my TV in 5 years. I can't think of any reason I would want to turn it on again. I should get rid of it.
In the winter season a night-time auto accident is probably my most serious problem: run into deer, end up in a ditch, can't be seen from the road until morning. My car kit is geared towards that scenario.
About five years ago I got caught in an unforecast ice storm, a serious problem in a city where no one knows how to drive on the stuff. It's unnerving to see three unrelated 20+ car pileups from the driver's seat of your car... Yes, I do know how to get home from work etc without crossing a single bridge.
