John,

Thanks man and you’re welcome. It ain’t much but, it helps me understand things such as they are…Also, I ain’t no expert myself but, I do know some “things”…

I know it seems as though I’m really down on these folks but I’m not. Most of them are just doing their jobs to keep a roof over their heads and in some instances, they actually believe in what they are doing (which is cool). However, some of these folks know exactly what they are doing and are absolute ECO wackos with a chip on their shoulders…These are the ones I’m talking about.

I’m all for minimizing hazards but there has to some level of forethought about this...I mean until technology can actually provide physical - not computer models funded by a grant - working technologies, we have what we have or we live primitive. I mean, you don’t have to run your AC in the summer or your heater in the winter but, it will be most uncomfortable for probably 90% of our population. As for me, military service, hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, etc…I’m used to going primitive. Having said that, I do like to take a hot shower from time to time and cook on a stove (using the grill outside is problematic when it rains). But hey, cold food from a can or vacuum sealed bag ain’t that bad…As in C-Rations, B-Rations and later MRE’s…Ha! Ha!

Later,
Jim.
