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
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.

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.

Wasn't it George Carlin that suggested that the poor were important because
they scared the middle class into working hard for fear that they would fall
down to that level?

A Chyron is the lower third graphic bar you see on the screen with text-based
graphics on it. It’s a brand name of the original systems that did tese
graphics, turned generic, like Kleenex or dumpster.
We had nothing in our distribution contracts about pricing, as the commercial

The problem with such laws is that they are something like trying to
outlaw gravity.
If you force the price to be lower than the demand, you create a
shortage (and usually a black market, if that term is still allowed).
There is no way around it. A few early buyers get lucky, everyone else
gets
I could see that.
Understand that Florida has very strict laws about price gouging by retailers
(!) and they pursue them aggressively. Not sure that they have any sway over
private sales, they might. I just haven’t paid that much attention.

When the big blow hit the Carolinas in the 90s, the name which escapes me, we
were in Wisconsin prepping to ship stuff down there after it cleared and had a
