I *thought* Tom Knight beat Brent Meeker with the top it up solution, but that mail seems only intermittently visible in my RoundCube. On 2019-04-26 09:05, Veit Elser wrote:
First hike up Mt. Umunhum (always wanted to use that in a sentence) or someplace higher.
You've touched on an interesting subject which I encourage you to Google further. Les Earnest claims the station up there was part of the SAGE air defense system, which was the biggest taxpayer fraud in history. But he also mentions that, 20 miles away, it was blitzing the Stanford AILab computer at 13 second intervals. I.e., whatever they were doing, the people up there were serious. The actual radar building is improbably large: http://www.redwoodhikes.com/Skyline/MtUmunhum1.jpg There were people actually living there year-round. They even had a bowling alley. (I bet that, summer afternoons, it's *way* too windy for volleyball!) And for years after it closed, the area was very off-limits to hikers and motorists. —rwg

I brew it in a 46oz pickle jar that easily tips over, and leaks if the lid isn't snug. But if I forget to momentarily loosen the lid within a few minutes, a powerful vacuum develops that makes it virtually impossible to unscrew. What is the trivial solution? —BillI
