Re: [MBZ] Are Hurricanes fun?

I've been thinking about one of the Harbor Freight units. I was at camp early in July and it was real hot so we ran the ceiling fan right up until the charge controller for the solar system said "Enough of that" (10.9v). It the (of course) got real cloudy the next day (but stayed hot) so I

Re: [MBZ] Are Hurricanes fun?

I'd advise the 2KW inverter style; quiet, fuel-efficient, and 4-cycle (straight gasoline, no oil mix). The $450 unit from Harbor Freight is quite good although routine servicing requires tools. HF requires adding a fuel stabilizer, a good idea if you want it to work when you need it. > Mitch

Poor is relative. The US poverty level income is five times the global median income. It seems poor people in the US today have more/better stuff (food, clothes, cars, TVs, shelter, etc.) than my upper middle class family had in the 50s. > -Original Message- > From: Mercedes

Yep. Carlin was a genius. Miss him. Something like: The rich make all the money and pay none of the taxes. The middle class does all the work and pays all the taxes. The poor keep the middle class working hard so they don't end up poor. Curt Raymond via Mercedes writes: > Wasn't it George
