Next to the Red Barn there is a small building where you could turn in your phone, tablets,batteries,etc and have them charged for free.(Donations accepted). It's a small room with lots of heat and not much ventilation. Given the current status of the virus I wonder if they are going to open this petri dish? And if they do how are they going to protect the volunteers (hazmat suits?) and your phone when you pick it up from spreading the virus?

:confused:

I guess you could wear a mask and use a wipe to clean your device. I generally carry a couple of external battery packs. Covid hasn't crossed my mind until you mentioned it.

Gotta admit that when I saw the title of this thread ("Vintage Charging Station"), this is the first thing I thought of.

And how many here are old enough to even recognize this?

Shoot, dude... *I'm* not old enough to recognize that. It came out more than a decade before I was born. Just am a bit of a history nut.

Interesting bit of trivia: The Gibson Girl was based on a captured German unit:
