Personal note:
I thought that was Moro as it did not say who said it though it did stated that Jeanette is limited on her information.


"That was you who said it? I did not see who said it, just heard it, and I thought it was Moro. " Fernando says, adding, "But it is true - knowledge is hard to destroy once it is out there. You can try to eliminate the technology but it will be rebuilt in a matter of time. Now if we can find a university's library, especially its engineering library, it will filled with information in books and other media of ideas and implementation of technology going far back centuries. Listening to the radio, I can hear shortwave stations in the background, using Morse Code. It just shows proves what is stated."

Quote from Hondo I. Sackett on Apr 17th, 2016, 9:18pm:
Hondo: I know I'm right. Besides we either go take a breather or that spirit will end up dead with you and Jeanette sluggin' it out. You would win, hands down, but hell, it just aint worth it. Besides we have stuff to do an' I can't remember what all I have for medical supplies. Oh before I forget.  . .

Hondo held out to Fernando the envelope with the patches in it.

Tom says the owner may still be alive. Should be ' round a place called fort Sumner, teaxas/ new Mexico boarder.

What was that about Fort Sumner? I know its about 50 miles from the Texas/New Mexico border in New Mexico

Hondo pulled back out the envelope that held the patches.  
 
Hondo:The owner of these is supposedly livin' there.Tom's not 100% he's still alive but he thinks he is. He said to give these to you.
 
he hands the envelope to Fernando allowing him to look over the contents.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

Fernando opens the envelope partly and looks at its contents before putting it away in his pocket. "I see. Remind me to pay back Tom of this favor when this is all over. For now we got a couple of things to fix and get going before we head down in that direction." He says, "Interesting that Fort Sumner is around, as it is in the low lands unless they moved it to higher grounds or set up a dyke to protect the fort and nearby town from the floods."

Jeanette has conflicting images in her mind. When Moro listed a few medical items available in what looks like a third world country, Jeanette pictured products as she remembers them from her time. When Fernando talked about spring steel, Jeanette started to picture a Mad Max version of the SAM Splint.
 
"Moro," Jeanette begins, "today when you talked about medical products that are available, oxygen systems, new sensors for old pulse oximeters and the SAM Splint, I pictured medical products I'm familiar with. Are what you have mentioned the same as it was in 2010?"
 
"Let's take the SAM Splint for example. If you look closely, you will notice a slight difference." Moro stops, pulls out what looks like a smart phone, presses some icons, scrolls and presses a few more icons.
 
A brand new SAM Splint, flat fold, still in it's packaging, is teleported on the ground in front of Moro. Moro picks it up and hands it to Jeanette. On the top of the package it has the SAM Medical Products logo that Jeanette is familiar with.
 
Jeanette accepts it. "It does not appear to have been in storage for the past fifty years. Moro, you said if I look closely, I would notice a slight difference. It looks identical to what I have in my med kits. Where is the difference?"
 
Moro points to something on the package.
 
With a question in her tone, Jeanette reads what Moro pointed to. "Made in Charlton." Shocked

"Jeanette, if you and the girls are ready, I'm ready to go. To go get the electric camper from the motel and take to Hondo for work to be one on it. I recommend bringing the gas camper over so we can met them with the trailer campers." Fernando tells her as they walk up Hondo's Bronco.

"Are we remaining in the motel for tonight or are we camping?" Jeanette asks.

"That depends on what you and the girls want. But Macey and I will be 'camping' in the parking lot with Hondo. It is not that we are saving money or want to try out the trailers. We got work to finish tomorrow so we might as well stay here to wake up early to get it done and get ready for a long trip. From what Hondo and I found out, the next town is not mutant or spirit friendly like the last one, but the two after that are so its a long ride to the second town. Tomorrow's the last day for the market here so we can prepare to leave with them in a caravan convoy." Fernando explains.

"I would prefer that we all stay together." Jeanette says. "In that case we'll first pick up our clean laundry, pack our bags and check out."
