Keep it going for you guys. Let's keep the politics limited this time.

A young woman visits her parents and brings her fiancée to meet them. After an elaborate dinner, the mother tells her husband to find out about the young man.

The father invites the fiancée to his library for a drink. "So what are your plans?" the father asks the young man.

"I am a Torah scholar," he says. "A Torah scholar? Hmmm," the father says.

"Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in, as she is accustomed to?"

"I will study," the young man said, "and God will provide for us."

"And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asks the father.

"I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replies. "God will provide for us."

"And children?" asks the father. "How will you support children?"

"Don't worry, sir, God will provide," replies the fiancée.

The conversation continues like this, and each time the father questions, the young idealist insist that God will provide.

Later, the mother asks: "How did it go, Honey?"

The father answers: "He has no job and no plans, but the good news is he thinks I'm God."

The Overlord can kick my ass if she sees fit and I'll take it like a man. I said what needed to be said and it won't go any further than that.
Appologies to those who took offence.

The way the 2 plastic bottles are placed an important household item IMO Top Max any guesses on the fuel supply to that stove?

- Desert_Woodworker
Probably natural gas. Safer than propane. I will fly out the window rather than pool on the floor.

Please critique this message to the city council:

Last fall prior to the Shakeout Drill, I asked our State Emergency Management about seismic evaluation of a 1,000-gallon propane tank surrounded by barriers adjacent to the 6-foot concrete wall standing on top of the ground. They did not offer any safety procedures. All of these issues are code violations. The Backus Administration's position is they all met existing standards when they were installed. Unfortunately, the Backus Administration has no credibility. All the codes were adopted decades prior to the first violation in 2010.

Everyone says nothing like this would be allowed where they live. I am sure they are correct. They ask if we have a building department to enforce codes. We do, but they are the problem. They say to go to the mayor and city council. Unfortunately, they are a bigger problem. Hopefully, Auburn is the only city stupid enough to accommodate concrete walls without an embedded foundation and barriers creating propane hazards risking whole neighborhoods.

The 1983 Buffalo, New York propane explosion resulted in 7 fatalities and 150 injuries. It completely leveled a four-story building and demolished many buildings on four different blocks. It seriously damaged buildings that were over half a mile away. The cause was the valve breaking off of a 125-gallon tank. These damages are significantly greater than my 1,000-gallon damage area based on NOAA first responder safety warnings. We can expect many valves to break off as tanks roll around Auburn during the Big One. The Christmas morning bombing at Nashville was propane contained in a small motorhome.

The State Hazard Mitigation Officer said unfortunately the State cannot help with this situation. The enforcement of these codes needs to happen at the city level. The only advice provided is to continue to raise awareness. The first responders and CERT volunteers to whom this would be a serious hazard. Getting more community voices behind an issue that could severely impact them is always a good option for helping to bring about safety-related changes. Attorneys say notification will be an advantage for survivors.
