A straight line to my eyes is like regurgitated fish to a hungry gull (but hopefully without the killer whales).

We have seven cats also, and I was kind of wondering how we would evac all of them if it came to that .... Good to see it can be done!

As for how one gets seven cats into a motel ... well, when we moved from Texas to California, we stopped at Motel 6's (which accepts pets) and told them all we had, ahem, "a cat." Didn't mention the other six ... but we were also VERY careful not to let our kitties trash the rooms. Perhaps in an emergency situation, a motel might be more willing to let all the critters in without resorting to mendacity.

A canoe was probaly the best survival tool they could have had. We have 3 but of course We do live at 1000 ft.

Sasha would have sunk the canoe. Although I might have been able to tow her with a pair of water wings.

I seeking one of the old Phillips and Roger's conversions for my Model 686 S&W....20 plus different calibers can be used. Regardless of what ya find per se for resupply as long as it's in the range they suggest.....

I'd have to go with a passenger riding shotgun w/ my M1A and I'd pack my Benelli M1 for a road trip through hells basement aka NOLA.

Thanks for the ping! Guns and cats. Great combination! Thank God they had a shotgun and were able to save their cats. I would shoot someone to protect my kitties. LOL

Earlier today, a man came up to me. I think he wanted the canoe. He saw I was armed and gave up.

Second Amendment. Learn it, live it, love it.

Worth repeating. Thanks to both of you.
