“Wasn’t there a movie made about three black “girls” who worked for NASA in the 1960’s?”
The movie is “Hidden Figures”. Good movie.

“The movie is ‘Hidden Figures’. Good movie.”
The movie is good, but how true is it? I suspect there was a lot of poetic license to promote the left’s racist agenda.
DH was a contractor for DOD for decades and he thought it was basically a comedy.
I’m very interested in the Generac. We don’t need anything huge. We only need to run the well, freezer, refrigerator, etc. With the propane heater for emergency heat a winter outage wouldn’t be too bad in S. Tennessee. Summer would be bad, but we’d survive it with all the windows open.
I make my own dog food and have been dehydrating a lot of it. I keep it in the freezer to make it last longer so even if we lost the freezer the dog food would stay good. I plan to dehydrate and can as much as possible this summer for that reason. I normally freeze most of the garden goods but I think it would be wise to preserve using other methods now.
I remember a film about a maths genius black girl that could solve differential calculus problems almost instantaneously.
Katherine Johnson: The Girl Who Loved to Count
In 1953, after years as a teacher and later as a stay-at-home mom, she began working for NASA's predecessor, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, or NACA. The NACA had taken the unusual step of hiring women for the tedious and precise work of measuring and calculating the results of wind tunnel tests in 1935. In a time before the electronic computers we know today, these women had the job title of “computer.” During World War II, the NACA expanded this effort to include African-American women. The NACA was so pleased with the results that, unlike many organizations, they kept the women computers at work after the war. By 1953 the growing demands of early space research meant there were openings for African-American computers at Langley Research Center’s Guidance and Navigation Department – and Katherine Johnson found the perfect place to put her extraordinary mathematical skills to work.
As a computer, she calculated the trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space. Even after NASA began using electronic computers, John Glenn requested that she personally recheck the calculations made by the new electronic computers before his flight aboard Friendship 7 – the mission on which he became the first American to orbit the Earth. She continued to work at NASA until 1986 combining her math talent with electronic computer skills. Her calculations proved as critical to the success of the Apollo Moon landing program and the start of the Space Shuttle program, as they did to those first steps on the country's journey into space.
This old house only has one bathroom so an alternative will be nice. It probably had an outhouse when it was first built in the 50’s. I’m not above putting another one in the yard. LOL I have used many of them.
Back before I hurt my ankle, I was riding a mountain bike 20-30 miles back in the woods and hills. I carried a 5-gal bucket in my truck. I put a seat on it and put a small trash bag with kitty litter in it. My truck had a back seat area and the bucket sat there when I rode. That was my way of not having to use a public outhouse. Yuck!

An outhouse in the south would only be a minor inconvenience as long as you can keep the snakes and wasps out. :-)
He claimed that he found the hole that the cross stood in. He further claimed to find blood on the ark and traced a crack from the cave all the way to the hole the cross stood in. He then said he had the blood analyzed by a laboratory and the blood was still alive and had 24 chromosomes.
No corroborating evidence for any of these claims ever was produced. Only a lot of stalling. No picture of the ark, no ark, no lab report from any lab, nothing.
He also claimed to have found the actual location of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea along with the chariot remains of Pharoah's army, Noah's Ark, Sodom and Gomorrah, The rock at Horeb that gave water to the Israelites and the place where Elijah called down fire from heaven.
This would be the archeological equivalent of discovering relativity, and then after lunch coming up with quantum physics.
If you choose to believe that fine, but it is cray cray.

I was pointing out that the claim made by sceptics of the Biblical canon was that it was made up by white guys to suppress the truth. I was not stating it as fact.
Re Catherine Johnson:
As I recall, her father was a white janitor.
