Okay, it's closer to dawn then bedtime. I've read this new Vaccination Strategy Twice; which is about as much as I can do when it's this late & I've had a crazy couple of days. I have 6 pages of notes in point form with what I see, (initially), as both strengths & weaknesses of the Strategy as...

I scanned through that thread about what's allowed on the front page and decided, after scanning the sigs, that this was the best place for this bit of humor.

I'm posting my reviews of "The Rift" and "The New Madrid Run" as a single thread because they're kinda sorta related, and also because you might try to decide between the two of them as they both *look* like they're about similar things. They aren't, but that's not obvious until you read the books....

Chapter 3 When things had settled down, Mike showed Dan an ingenious controller he had designed for the generator. It would start up the generator under 2 conditions: 1) If there was a load greater than 20 amps on the system, and the battery bank’s state of charge was below 70% or 2) if the...

Really. Seem normal to me but I have years and years of these written down so thought I'd share and see what the response is. Week of Feb 23-28. 1] I'm in an open pavillion in the lobby of a large, multi-floor Hotel. Something like one might see in Vegas with lots of lights, shops and...
