John G. mentioned: Digging into China’s nuclear tunnels. Without an inspection regime, we are essentially in the dark about the size of China’s nuclear arsenal. Back in my home town, this information deficit is a Z Division nightmare.

Ron in Vermont mentioned a ham radio network that has been set up by the American Preparedness Radio Net in cooperation with the Catastrophe Network. Ron notes: “Sunday evening there is a digital net on 40 meters on 7.073 MHz @ 1930 EST, and a voice net on 80 meters @ 3.818 MHz. Topics vary from gardening, communications, alternative power, et cetera. The primary goal is to test equipment and prove out communications.” OBTW, here is a fascinating recent APRN post: How To ‘Listen’ To The DigiNet WITHOUT a Radio

Several readers have mentioned the FloJack hand well pump. This is an affordable, self-contained 50-foot depth hand well pump kit, with optional kits to go deeper. It ships UPS in a 50 pound box. It is a narrow profile pump design, engineered to assemble and drop into a well casing right beside your existing electric well pump. It’s manufactured from food grade PVC, stainless and aluminum. It delivers 10 gallons a minute, will lift water 150 feet, and can pump uphill, or pump pressurized water into your home through a garden hose connected to an outdoor faucet. You will still have water at the sink, tub or for toilet flushing. The pump kit is around $349 (depending on the features included).
