[random] It's official...

...chez protected static is now semi-prepared in the event of an earthquake or other calamity. I still have other stuff to get before I'll feel like it's a totally adequate stash, but we certainly have enough stuff for our family to make it on its own for at least three days. If all of us can make it back home, we've got enough stuff for five or six days - I bought one large kit for the house and 2 smaller kits, one for each car. I opted for the 'go-bag' style instead of something more fixed. I figured that this would give us the most flexibility: if we need to boogie on out, it's mostly portable; if we're hanging tight, it isn't like we can't/won't use the stuff because we aren't on the run...
