[PUP] Storm panels over saloon windows

[Charlie Root]

Scott,

When I left California two years ago across the Pacific, I did not have 
any storm panels, and in fact had never even considered adding them.  My 
plan was to avoid any possibility of ever needing them, and the plan 
actually worked - all the way to Australia.

Just my US$0.02
