My books are on sale now 📖 Ready for Anything, and the set of three. Grab them here: https://hankdockery.com Candles start about 5,894 home fires a year in the U.S., with an average of 63 deaths a year, according to the National Fire Protection Association, and sleep was a factor in 34% of those deaths. The Red Cross says to use flashlights, not candles, when the power goes out. In January 2009, 350,000 Arkansas customers lost power in the ice storm, and Hank went 19 days without it on the ridge. Every one of the 17 items was posted under $2 this week.
