Damp-Chaser in Texas

[Avery]

Don,

But how does this work? They're always being moved in and out of "somewhere".
I've often wished that DammpChaser could come up with a portable unit of some
kind that worked off batteries and wouldn't have to be plugged into anything
and wouldn't be obviously visible to the audience.

I'm lucky. Even my storage area for the 'D's' has some 
temperature/humidity control!
