  1. I was surprised yesterday, but I should have expected it as it is the same story in any kind of disaster. We were in Home Depot in Olympia, WA picking up a couple of electrical items to finish wiring lights in our new wood shed when I noticed a stack of particulate masks. The cashier said they had been returned and the purchaser wanted instead to buy the entire stock of the store’s N95 masks. Store management limited sales to 10 per customer. Two things come to mind with that quantity of masks….either they will be shipped to China or there will be price gouging on eBay (saw that at the time of Fukushima reactor melt down with Potassium Iodate). We all should have N95s stacked in our medical supplies, but you don’t and want some, get them NOW!

  2. Gosh, I hate the thought of you having to bear the extra cost of replacing those USB sticks. There must be something folks can do to help. Could they perhaps be mailed to another address – a trusted subscriber who’s an IT professional or at least pretty tech savvy – where they could be wiped clean and then later all returned to you in one tidy box to save for next year? Just a suggestion, because I don’t like things to go to waste.

  3. I wanted to thank you for the continuing quotes from the Founding Fathers. I’m a millennial and you’d be surprised at the [obliteration] of Founding Fathers in our school studies. I was surprised at how “Christian” these freedom loving me really were. If you do a search on Google and and the number of references of God and freedom to HIS creation also written in the DOI and US Constitution. Thank you!

    1. Pat, at that time it could be a Death sentence to not be “Christian” or the wrong kind and religious wars were still being fought with horrible evils perpetrated in the name of god (Crusades, Inquistions, exfinistrations, burning at the stake, drowning, torture, wholesale murder, expulsion into wilderness). Education was often limited to bible reading and free thought could get you killed or your home and possessions stolen/burned and you tarred and feathered or run out. The reason so much was justified was god could be used as a final source of authority and killing in his name was usually excused. Read up on many Founding Fathers, many were not “Christians” but used the cover of Deism to be socially accepted (Washington, Franklin, Jefferson,etc.). I am glad you are taking the opportunity to learn more, it will serve you well in the future so don’t stop.

  4. Pat in Dever…soooo glad to read your comments… as a retired educator I know that the Founding Fathers are ignored in public education circles… however they WERE taught in my classroom… may I suggest reading Common Sense by Thomas Paine…Second Treatise of Civil Government by John Locke… I believe you will find these enlightening

    I agree but what I did was send a few books of Forever Stamps to help offset the costs that I’m sure had to be incurred.
    Maybe everyone else could do the same?
    Have a great day everyone
