It's also possible that football coaches have a tendency to commonize their names - whether to fit in and make their players more relaxed, or maybe they were just raised in solid blue-collar American families. Their birth certificates

I think some sort of renewable energy source like solar might be a better choice for timeframes like that.

I agree food will be a problem anywhere. I think the advice to get out of the cities stems from the fact that there are about to be tens of thousands of starving people going from house to house looking for food. And their leaders will have

Very few people use analog signal processing techniques these days. It used to be common up until about 10-15 years ago, but then DSP's came along. Now, you take a signal, buffer it by the minimuum amount necessary to get it into the D
