 MR> prepare a bit. I will tell you what.  The next time I walk by and
 MR> incredible deal on a generator when they are not  in big demand, I am
 MR> going to splurge. But will wait for the right time and a  good buy. I
 MR> have said this to myself before, but mean it this time. ;-) 

I'll hold you to that...  

 MR> One of the great things I suggest for any preparedness kit is the
 MR> Bay-Gen  Radio. They are not that expensive, need no batteries, they
 MR> have solar charge  and crank. Get regular am/fm and also short wave and
 MR> an extremely bright led  light. Another one of those things that I have
 MR> bought that paid for itself.  Normally you don't need it, but when You
 MR> do, it sure is a nice thing to have.  You can catch them on sale from
 MR> time to time from companies like C.Crane and  some others. I do know
 MR> Crane sells qualitya at an decent price. 

I've thought about that, but with battery radios regularly in use
upstairs and down, we also keep a good stock of fresh batteries around
all the time.  The crank and light could come in handy, granted...
