What do you take for granted?

[Card]

Ohh... yeah. We've had a couple of power outages here before, and living far away from pretty much everything, the lines being down really sucks. So does not having water, or a hot meal. Luckily for me, this rarely happens, but it has and that sucks. What really bites is that we have our own well, but if the power goes out we don't have any way to access it (our neighbor has a generator though, he's prepared for all kinds o' shit).

Also, I kinda take cars for granted. I live maybe a ten or fifteen minute drive out of town, and I can't imagine not having a car.


But, we do have to get rid of our trash at the dump ourselves, and if a tree falls over/gets cut down we have to burn it or call a company to haul it out for us (which is really expensive).

We usually just use it for firewood.


EDIT: Oh, I remember what I forgot to add: education. In the U.S. we have mandatory education K-12. It's so hard for me to understand this being different in other countries; Education is so important to me.
