but it also charges cell phones
That's useful. I need to get one of those.
I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
If stuff goes crazy, don't expect cell phones to work for a while. Basically, what it was like after the earthquake. Texting will be easier than calls.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I pulled it out, and of course it is a radio! And I sort of knew where it was! t /prepared

My radio is my car.

I had one of those shakey flashlights and it stopped working. Although this may be because I shook it more or less nonstop for the first month I had it. Well, I and my kids did. Okay, mostly me.
I still need to get a good quality solar/handcrank emergency radio, but in my head, I want it to work with, like, AMFMVHFUHFNOAAHam but there aren't any that do everything. So I have to choose. And you know me and choices.

My complacency is now somewhat driven by my neighborhood. Between all of us, we can pretty much take care of it. Though I will buy extra snackies for the hurricane party tomorrow night!
I'm actually able to keep crackers and stuff that I don't nibble on for impromptu deck and porch parties. Even building up a wine stash with their preferences in mind.

Does anyone drive a Honda Odyssey? Do you like it? Or any other fairly recent minivan? They don't make mine anymore and it has 300,000 miles on it, so I'm thinking we're due.

Liese, does this mean your awesome station wagon is done for?
K just sold her Civic (to Carmax!) It's 10 years old and had over 200,000 miles + suspension issues galore AND it's burning oil. But she got $2200 for it!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
don't have a minivan, but you know who has opinions/reviews on them: [link]

That's really good. Used cars are getting good money now (and costing more...)
I didn't have to swim 2 miles tonight, I did that Wednesday (I do 2 miles 3x a week.) But I got to 1.5, lanes were clear, so why the hell not? And had good times. Yay!
