Y'all think Alaska could've prevented that earthquake if they had raked their snow?

Saw that just now online. Sorry if it's a repost.

1. You can't rake snow. You have to bale it.

4. I remember when my dear old mother would be canning all the water we would need...

for the next year. Hours and hours over a hot stove. A bale of snow spread out on the kitchen counter, the pressure cooker whistling...ahhh, what memories!

6. We used to freeze-dry our snow. It took up less room that way.

9. Yeah, but you missed all those wonderful aromas from the kitchen...fresh snow, steam, mama's sweat!

Well, mostly the sweat.

15. We de-hydrated ours.

So when you wanted it, all you did was add water.....


I remember big PILES of the stuff on the rack, just waiting to be dried.

7. My mom used to dehydrate all our water.

She would can it, and when you needed some, you opened the can and held a glass upside down above it, so the Hydrogen would flow up into the glass, combine with the Oxygen in the air and Voila! Instant water.

12. It's a red state, Trump said he would he would spend whatever it takes. California

13. Did not Donald say Make America Shake Again? n/t.

14. The fresh- raked snow glistening in the moonlight,

what memories we have of our magical childhood.

16. DU has the best comedians on the planet

17. Hilarious thread

So reassuring for me to know, that as I slept, DUers have been up all night, working hard at, . . . 'raking' their brains, to solve the problems of our planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Thanks,

18. Funny stuff--you guys are great.

Not funny stuff--my son-in-law's parents live in Palmer, Alaska, about 30
north of the epicenter. When I heard about the quake (here on DU of course),
I called them. No answer. So I texted and was told that they were OK but the
house was a mess. She said everything in house was on the floor, no power and
no road to Anchorage. Power is back up now and a road in and out is open.
Lots of clean up to do.

20. "They shouldn't even have snow. People say it's because they put the state in the wrong place.

I don't know. I hear that's what people say. But it's simple. Alaskans who are tired of snow should get memberships at Mar-a-Lago. That's what I think. Why not? We don't have snow there. We didn't put it in a snowy place."
