    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...
    Gun registration is gun confiscation in slow motion.

    There was a reason the glass was about 4" thick and embedded with lead

    My parents kept their 1970's era wood console TV up into the 2000's despite my efforts over a decade to get them to upgrade.

    Then they bought the worlds biggest CRT TV, (32" --- 180+ lbs) which of course they needed me to come over and install. WHYYYYYYYYYY

    I have clear memories of doing the same. My dad would put pieces of masking tape on the tubes and the sockets, would write matching numbers on the tape for each pair, and then put them all in a paper bag. We'd head over to the 'five & dime' where he would test each one (on the stand-alone tube tester cabinet, common in stores at the time) until he found the bad one. Then he'd grab the box with the matching specific tube code out of the cabinet and we'd head to the check-out. Get back home and put all of the matching tubes back in place and then the replacement. I don't recall multiple tubes going out at the same time.

    I hear you're only as old as you feel...
