Are you prepared?
It's the centennial of the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Last week, San Francisco residents received in the mail a pamphlet titled "are you prepared?"
The local Wallgreens is trying to capitalize on this, and there is a shelf with stuff that would be useful after a disaster. An "Are You Prepared?" sign hangs over the shelf.
Among other things, the shelf contains big jugs of aspirin, surgical masks, mechanical alarm clocks, first-aid kits, battery-operated radios, and so on.
What's with the mechanical alarm clocks? Why would I want to wake up early in the aftermath of a disaster?

I think this is for preemtive use. Would you really like to sleep in?
