My mom and dad corresponded with each other while he was in Vietnam via reel to reel tapes. the player and box of them is stashed away somewhere, I found them in HS and listened to some, I really need to find them again...
The "proof reader" flunked English class.
I know a dockworker at the L.A. port; he says the backlog of ships in the harbor is gone.
For now.
You might have already given the info in a previous post -- if so, pls excuse. But what do you personally do if, say, there's something like a major ice-caused power outage? How do you keep the frozen meat frozen?
And if you're lucky enough to already have a good generator on hand, do you have any type of contingency plan in the event that an outage lasts longer than there's insufficient fuel stored for?
In OK, it never gets cold enough (or STAYS cold for long enough) to make storing meat or other perishables outside a viable option.
ThankQ CtC for the links!

The Case for Impeachment Gets Stronger

An observation from a Swedish engineer:
βThe notion that a nation can run on sunshine and breezes is worse than delusional.
People might fall for the idea that we can merrily run on sunshine and breezes, alone, but with a few trillion dollars worth of mythical mega-batteries providing backup for a few minutes, when the sun sets and the wind stops blowing.
A two-megawatt w!ndmill is made up of 260 tons of steel that required 300 tons or iron ore and 170 tons of coking coal, all mined, transported and produced by hydrocarbons.
A w!ndmill could spin until it falls apart and never generate as much energy as was invested in building it.β
For those still beyond the trees...

When it comes time to listen to your tapes again do some research on how to preserve them. They most likely need to be baked for a while in order to dehydrate them. The object is to keep from shedding all the oxide (which has absorbed moisture) off and losing the info for good.
