| What would you save in a fire? Sorry to hear that you've been affected by that disaster. Where's a god when you need one? I've fireproof cases with important docs, old love letters and photos. Jewelry. Guns. The turntables and amps. | |
| Shopping for a new TV... this is one deep rabbithole... I’ve bought Samsung 65" TVs - UHD $397, QLED $697 from Amazon Prime. No issues. The UHD is excellent with 4K. No need to spend more. | |
