As far as that goes,old Cummins diesel engines had a manual setting on the fuel solenoid.If you screw the manual on and push or pull the truck it will fire up and run with no electricity at all.Other diesels could too,and fuel could be pumped out of storage tanks with a hand pump and then you could have transportation.Lots of people,troops,guns,other stuff would fit on a 53 foot reefer trailer.After the EMP is over why not get a bunch of diesel locomotives fired up and hook them up to the electric grid,or ships on the coast to have electricity.I find it hard to believe that after the EMP that nothing electric will ever work again.I think thats kind of stupid,the EMP is so we cant launch our missiles while they attack us with theirs.After the pulse is over I think electric devises will work.Lots of food is stored in man made caves.Also these have huge diesel generators attached to them in case of power failure.Would a generator work if it wasnt running when the EMP pulse went off?Anyway all that food is going to last a while,plus there will be guns and deer,elk,cattle,hogs,about everything you can think of to eat,so I dont see why 90% of us would be dead in 30 days.Might be true but I doubt it.In 30 days a lot more Americans will be alive than Iranians I think.Maybe we would lose 40% of the people in 30 days.I doubt that it would even be that many over a EMP attack if thats all they were able to do.The rest of us would be mad and the 40% wouldnt be missed as far as attacking another country is concerned.The other country needs to worry about that 3% in the military that are mad and guns still work.There are such things as solid rockets that could carry war heads and if dynamite can light it,it might not be safe for them even if nothing works electrically.If they only have 4 missiles,and EMP attack us,in a matter of hours nuclear subs and ships there werent affected and planes from other parts of the world will be blowing them off of the face of the Earth and they wont even be able to fight back very much.I think conventional warfare wont even be an option if they did attack us like that.It will be the end for them.

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
