There are lots of nice pump type water filters that can make drinkable water
out of almost anything.
One would think they would have lots of those on hand in areas that get
flooding like this.

A company sent me an email for IT support work in Houston for Home Depots,

travel and expenses. Plus I have support contract with GPS and Arcticcom so a
long stay in Houston area would be tough.

Was at a contract customer today, hes a truck managemnet and delivery
outfit, not sure what its called, but he basically is who they call when they
have stuff to go from a to b, and he arranges the truck... sombody please tell
me what thats called, ive been going there for ten years and now feel too dumb
to ask what its called.
He was trying to set up a run into houston and couldnt get hold of anybody,
was to the point of googling the shipper recipient to find a contact or cell
number, crazy.
I said "youll be making bank off this when the rebuild starys i bet"
He said no, after katrina and sandy it was virtually impossible to find non
contract trucks, cause the standard truck reaponse is "will you match what fema
pays?"
Its all a racket

You can put red in on the generator at the shop to charge it. If the
generator is in the trunk charging as you drive you cant use it...... road tax.

I'm not advocating this, but why?
Electric cars don't pay anything.
If I put a diesel generator into a Chevy Volt, I can use red diesel.
Well, I assume. Why can't I put red diesel into... sorry, most hybrids can
engage the combustion motor for movement.... a factory version of a Volt with
a diesel?
I know one is legal and one is not, but they're basically the same
thing, just one comes with the generator and the other doesn't.
