the kitties have already forgiven mom (and even me) for putting them through travel torments... they may be less pleased when the beasties come home from boarding tomorrow.
We'll need to keep the cats and dogs separate- the black dog is ok, but the red dog is not trustworthy. They'll all need to be confined during much of the construction, so it should work out well
Both mom and I are good. We have some errands to run today, and general settling in to do. I'm very glad she's here

So... is that the point where thunder claps and the sky turns black?EMP pulse is designed to knock out electrical devices (electronics in particular included). It, or something similar, happens sometimes naturally from the Sun and burns out power grids in solar storms. It basically induces a current in any wire. ANY wire.
Anyway, if used, it would be either a precursor to invasion or some other act of war. Note that high altitude nuclear bursts deliver an EMP pulse too and they are often sent "first" so they knock out much of the area's ability to respond to the incoming other stuff (lower altitude nuke, or conventional bombs, or whatever).
Military stuff is hardened against it, but not necessarily foolproof.
Should you have a bike? Sure, exercise is good for you! But if there's an EMP bomb from a major country, you may as well be asking if you should kiss your .... goodbye rather than if you need a bike.
Now, terrorists may try for an EMP bomb, but really, it's a lot harder for them to construct and they require a LOT of energy as input. That's why the major EMP concern is from the Sun, a nuke or at least a major-country-attack.
If you want to take precautions (and it's not a bad idea, since the Sun can produce it too)...you should get an emergency radio with a crank-power source (maybe batteries too) and WRAP IT IN A FEW LAYERS OF ALUMINUM FOIL and store it in a metal file cabinet.
Another early evening. Goodnight, Snails, sleep well, pleasant dreams and a better tomorrow.
Gonna sit on the deck, then some Netflix, then book and bed....
