Star Ship Troopers - Another great book that Hollywood twisted all out of shape when they made the movie. For you younger guys who saw the movie and were wondering what the hype was about, go read the book. Much better than the movie. The ending is a 180 from the movie.
Being Ready - In Fayetteville we really only have to worry about loss of power, either due to ice storms or hurricanes, and snow storms with no loss of power. We have the standard 5kw generator and fire place with lots of wood. We fill 3 each 5 gallon cans with gas a few days out when a situation threatens. If nothing happens the gas gets poured into the cars as needed. For a real extended outage we have 4 vehicles in the drive that we could draw gas from them. Throw in the gas grill, 2 coleman stoves, lanterns, ect and we are ready. Food? Plenty on hand but will just have to be creative with the menue.
Terry - I feel your pain over Ms 200#. I just hope my youngin's make good spouse picks - I want to retire, not raise a third generation.
