[Elecraft] Packing Peanuts

[Clay Autery]

Ghost Guano...  peanuts made from starch that dissolve when wet, but
they don't handle the same weight...

Surprised California hasn't banned polystyrene peanuts yet...

I LOATHE polystyrene peanuts...  I can cut steel with my cussing when
dealing with them.  ;-)

After I get about ten handfuls into a small trash bag the common charge results in the smaller pieces flying out again.  Back onto my fingers.  Grabbing them with one hand while holding a cold water faucet with the other didn' t help at all.
