Using Waldon Pond as a guide and an early Banner motor home as an inspiration, 22+ years ago I wired my 2,000 square foot home for 12-volt and 110-volt solar emergency lighting and light work. Pictured is the home-built control center for the three panel system, which is 100 watts. The 300 watt wind turbine can be used for pumping water when hooked to the single battery or it may be used to charge a neighbor’s battery for barter. A short-run gas generator (110 volt 22 amp) handles the heavy loads when the grid is down and is disconnected from …

Law Enforcement Seizes $11,000 From 24-Year-Old. Lesson is do NOT get caught anywhere with a LOT of cash, especially on public transportation, but cops at routine traffic stops HAVE seized CASH, and some people NEVER get it back. You are GUILTY until you prove yourself innocent. So many Americans smoke or are around pot that many of our folding money bills smell of it to a canine dog. – H.L. JWR Adds: And, needless to say, NEVER consent to a search of your private conveyance! The police must have “plain view”, “probable cause”, or at least “reasonable and articulable suspicion” …
“And it came to pass, as he had made an end of speaking all these words, that the ground clave asunder that was under them: and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They, and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the pit, and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation.
