I have two Mini Mag's I've declared mission critical, and dedicated to
quake emergency use only. One is between the mattresses at the foot of
the bed (along with a good size white painted crow bar). snip


Curious if the white paint is significant. I understand painting the usual
bare metal found at the ends of the bar for corrosion staining on linens
but is the color meaningful in some way?
