Ahhh…Heath Melo. You’re never going to let that go are you?

Political lessons, free country, liberals, women…every election is different. Welcome to politics.

The issue I’m not letting go is purity pony voters, not the specific candidate.

Moving to a different topic, home tornado shelters.

My wife has been talking to a company in Texas for three days about underground shelters they sell. (The company deals with a local contractor and ships the pre-built shelter to the contractor.)

She got an answer today from them: Sorry. You’re too rural, we can’t ship to you.

- How about our rail siding here?

Sorry, we won’t use rail. Perhaps you should build something above ground.

- What’s the point of that?

It would appear we’re on our own here. I’ve suggested to my wife in the past to get a contractor to look into our root cellar and see if that is safe or if it could be reinforced if it’s not. After that, contract to redo the staircase into the cellar so it can accommodate her. (I’m not sure why she’s resisting this idea.)
