Just to throw fuel on the fire

To the age old question of do you want to run with the propane on so the refrigerator can run let me add my latest experience. My front street side 614 blew without any notice. Because I was in the sholder lane and only doing 60 I got on the shoulder and stopped almost immediately. Even so the shredding tire took out the TST on the tire behind it ruining that tire and sliced the loom ,holding the gas hose and electrical for the kitchen, in half dropping the gas hose and the electrical to the road right in front of the shredding tire. A big piece of tire tread got caught in my disk brake protruding out in front of the shredding tire and appears to be what kept the gas hose and electrical out from under the shredded tire and wheel. If I had had the propane on and either the shredding tire cut the hose or it got under the tire I would have had a more exciting time than I did. Now the reason given for folks wanting to run with the fridg on is to keep it cold. The fridg was off from 8am Sunday morning until 11:30 on Monday in 70 degree temperatures. We only opened the door once and yet at noon on Monday the fridge was still at 41 degrees and the ice in a bag on right side (warmer side) of the freezer was still in cubes not frozen together.
