Cal Fire - 56 confirmed dead
130 missing.

I see the fire cost is now - 'near' a billion $

Found a box of Special K hiding on a shelf in the food room. Packaging was intact. So, opened and ate it. It tasted a bit stale. Since I use UHT milk, no big. It was stored in the dark and a constant low temp. I suspect dry cereal, esp the sugar coated stuff, will be well past the Best By date if th...

100k have evacuated. Where they will all go is now an open question.

May the Lord have mercy, 'cause Mother Nature has shown none.....

I don't see a "Civil War" per se - that is to say an armed conflict between well defined groups. Please note my use of the word "Armed". It may not matter.... To be a bit more precise - James Fearon, a scholar of civil wars at Stanford University, defines a civil war as "a violent conflict within a ...

Nothing of value to steal if I'm down and out.

I'm voting for 4CHAN

Well worth watching for the laffs.

Lampoons the "Comfortable Catastrophe" series of 'disaster' flicks of the time.

I've covered this in the past... Only, I was too modest in the amount for the story. The Lottery Roscoe had most certainly seen some bad days in the past. Far more than a few. In fact, maybe too many. Hell, pulling two tours in Guatemala, humping ruck in the highlands while dodging ambushes from bot...

Given the number of wildfires and loss of property due to downed power lines last season, this seems very reasonable.

This radio has enjoyed brisk sales in North America owing to the $109 price tag. Turns out, you should stop using the radio owing to spurious emissions (harmonic related) that do not meet US regulations. Spurious emissions (spurs) generated in the double balanced mixer at 45 MHz that exceed US emiss...

SONY SRF-M35W

AM/FM/WB same RF scheme as the 'prisoner radio' but digital. Single AAA battery good for about 40 hours.
Earbuds/headphone listening only. Very sensitive. I've used one for years, highly recommenced.

Thanks for the updates, Have seen very little in US media. Ham bands are dead into the AO.

Congrats for finding someone you want to spend your life with!

An increasingly rare event these days, or so it seems.

Best of luck and best wishes for your coming life together.

Clif bars and dried fruit. I rotate them with the equinoxes.

I'm partial to fruit leather. DItto on Cliff bars or the like.

Shades of the October 1981 killing of Sadat.

The entrance chamber has a leak. Seeds are safe.

And yes, poor construction is to blame

With so much battery powered a low voltage disconnect device would seem to be in order.
