We’re exactly one Zat gun short of actually *having* a Zat gun.
Like most e-mail programs, mine has a filter that tries to identify spam and sticks it in a “Junk” folder. So you can go in there and double check to see if it is in fact spam (delete) or it’s something from Amazon which is close enough to spam (delete) or a notice from LJ that someone has replied to my comment (click).

There's no warning when the power goes out. Sam's only glad that Daniel had called a few minutes ago to confirm that he and Teal'c had made it back to the mountain safely. She's doubtful the plows will make it past the main roads until the morning.

"I thought the whole point of 'Emergency Supplies' is so you can find them in an emergency," he mutters. There's a thump from behind her as he tosses the box on the counter. There's enough light from the fire now that she can see him digging through the box.
"A zat, Carter?"
She takes it from him and clicks it open. "Do you know how useful the power supply from one of these are, sir? Better than batteries because they hold a charge."

There's more rummaging. "Ah. Carter?" He holds up the small foil squares and tilts his head in curiosity. "What's this?"
Sam shrugs. "What does do they look like?"
"And what clever uses do you have these stashed away for?"
"Have you seen the statistics on babies born after natural disasters?"
Jack finally finds the flashlight and clicks it on. "Carter, these are expired."
"Then they'd better plow the roads soon."
