I bought four new ones a few weeks ago (because I could never find one) INCLUDING a sacrificial "play" one; waved the others around and threatened something akin to The Rack for touching them, and yet still, there's only one left with juice in it... grrr...<BR/>- 35 gallons of water & at least one meal of sushi! ;-) yuck... but, if there's no power, they're going to die anyway.<BR/><BR/>Seriously - being involved in Emergency Preparedness as I am, it is embarassing that I am not better prepared. Especially since I would likely be called away from my family during such a time! Thanks for highlighting this. I think I'm going to get on it.harmziehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05718439326736163120noreply@blogger.com
