Preparedness

September is National Preparedness Month. I saw an ad in a magazine for Eton emergency radios that are endorsed by the Red Cross. Here's what I found on Amazon about them.

There are four models of this radio. The chart below from Amazon details the differences, but there is conflicting information about whether the higher numbered models come with the AC adapter or not. Since I just copied the code from Amazon (will I got to blogger hell for that?) to get the chart to show up, those links at the top to each model don't work, so I've added them separately if you want to see them.

I'm biting the $60 bullet today and ordering the FR400. It's something I should have owned a long time ago.
