More Rain Falling
Even as I sit here typing, there’s rain–it’s been more or less constant for the last 36 hours or so. It’s Monday afternoon; I’m getting this down and “in the can” a bit earlier than normal. If you’ve been living … Continue reading
Preparing for Not Collapsing
This post was inspired by a number of newspaper articles I’ve read recently, all of which addressed a financial issue from different angles. According to Salon, Millenials aren’t saving for retirement, mostly because they don’t believe capitalism will still be … Continue reading

Quick Thoughts
Just a few random mental meanderings this time around, dear readers. So, the president is still at it. He’s had a pretty rough week of it, though–he still can’t get the ACA repealed (yay, us!); he’s having a “Bush-Katrina” moment, … Continue reading

Whoa!
I’ve suffered a major hard drive crash… I’m trying to get it fixed ASAP. In the meantime, I’m offline. I’ll try to resume next week. Thanks for your patience!

This week was going to “just” be a list, as I mentioned in my last post… Then reality intervened. I’ll get to the list in a moment, but first these thoughts. Another young man recently died, under somewhat mysterious circumstances, … Continue reading

Why Do We Do This Again?
So, I had an idea all teed up for this week’s post, involving my bafflement at the right-wing media’s “sudden” realization that Palin is a crackpot, when Real Life ™ intervened, and reminded me why I do this prepping thing. … Continue reading

Inching Closer to a Collapse?
Yes, I said I’d avoid “current events” posts, but frankly, things have been getting a bit strange. More so than normal. We’ve got a former FBI Director, and life-long Republican, going toe-to-toe with the current president (who got a big … Continue reading →
