I’ve had a headache on and off for the past two days; too much computer time. So I’m going to stick to reading dead trees and to not-yelling at the TV news for another day.
One thing: it’s a piece of advice, actually. Check out the Community Emergency Response Team in your area. Don’t depend on any aspect of the government to save your bacon.
