Subject:Fri. Generator rant.

Again I must comment on how selfish it is to "camp" with your generator
on.  Plug your ears, stick out your tongue and yell "La LA LA..." at high
volume so you don't have to "hear" what I'm saying here, but there it is!

Deny deny deny, but your generator noise DOES completely eliminate the
peace and quiet that many people go camping to find.  Is it fair to impose
your noise on everyone around you?  No it is not.

  I know that most people don't even get out into the country very often
and fewer yet think their generators make any noise at all, but they really
do.
  The natural world is getting full, I know, but dang!...There's Solar and
batteries that do not impose on others who may value no unneeded noise, and
nobody NEEDS to listen to a generator.

  OK you all who Generate....You can unplug your ears and stop going "LA la
LA LA LA!" now, my annual anti-generator rap is done...hit the starter
button and go outside by your exhaust pipe and enjoy your camping...
