What's that zzzzzz noise?

Gizmos    Rad Gadgets “ There's been several times when I was sorry I didn't have a Geiger counter, like whenever a Democrat took the presidency, but then everybody seemed of the same mindset and  prices were astronomical.  I guess most of that lot have theirs, and- the others are too young to recognize any threat to their well-being, save for climate change.  Last week I went looking and found this on on E-Bay.  Bought it straightaway for $35 + shipping, and here it is.  This gummint surplus Geiger is in  pristine condition.  Put a "D" battery in at, did a circuit check and voila!  I know what MoSup will say (because she already did).  "So what what good is it to know that you're being zapped by a million Islamo dirty bomb rads?" (not quite in those terms).  There are a hundred things which I won't bore you with because you'll figure them out.  By the by - do any of you remember Missy Kelley? She recommended that I buy Nuclear War Survival & Skills in 1999, and I did.  It was a revelation, and I heartily recommend it to everyone as a guide.  Whoa, I just noticed that I mentioned this before - as one of my very first blog-spot posts in 2002. ”
