But if you have a look at the grey-brown straps wrapped around the capsule, you get the impression that it might be a pill to open if you didn't happen to have a pocket knife on you. There were two sets of the straps, one at each end. Alongside the "mandate" were some of those stupid graphical instruction stickers that "clearly" explain how to disengage the straps. I would have to say, that in the event of an emergency, nobody is going to attempt to figure out the graphical instructions...or adhere to the mandate. ;-) Hi Karen,

I'm glad you and the Missus didn't need it. Did the lifesaving equipment also have a child-proof cap? I’m glad you and the Missus didn’t need it.

I have always loved your illios and sense of humor. Let me tell you, at this time how sorry I feel for your having to endure those endless aweful winters there is sub artic Georgia. I too love those short breads but would NEVER have an entire keg in the house at one time! I could not be trusted to make the stash last all winter. Have fun!
