    Hurricane Season

    There is quite a bit of information on hurricane preparedness here at CPF. If you do a search of Sub_Umbra|Katrina|water|emergency|generators you will find enough interesting threads to fill several evenings with worthwhile reading about staying in place during and after a storm. *Sub_Umbra...

    Rest in Peace Sub_Umbra

    Mrs Umbra and I meet every Thursday at !:30pm to remember Sub. Its the Checkpoint Charlie bar on the corner of Esplanade and Decatur here in New Orleans.

    Maratac AAA Rev 3

    Just to answer a question from the original post. As near as I can figure MaraTac makes things for the government and* CountyComm sells these items to the general public. They are not the same company but I suspect the principal actors share the same name. While I'm here let me recommend their...
