It Could Happen
On my commute to and from work, I’ve been listening to a lot of podcasts lately. (My drive is about 45 minutes one-way with good traffic, and has been up to 3 hours with bad.) I listen to casts on … Continue reading
Learned it in Kindergarten
As I started to talk about last time, I’d like to explore the idea of what, when, and how much to share with others. I don’t think there’s a one-size-fits-all “right” answer to the question; at the end of the … Continue reading

A Few Realities
No, I’m not talking about the dichotomy between the world most rational people live in, and the one inhabited by the current resident of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. (Although those are certainly two vastly different realities.) What I’m referring to would … Continue reading

Observations from Vacation

Seems to be Setting In
Well, a quick perusal of many “mainstream” prepper areas out there shows me that the notion of climate change is finally starting to sink in, on the Right–at least, among those who don’t have a vested interest (<ahem> Congress <cough … Continue reading
Yeah, About That
Did I really say “no current events”? The problem with that is that they’re so… current. Sometimes, they’re even relevant. The recent U.S. Government shutdown was–well, not surprising. Not eye-opening. Not even an epiphany. More, I guess, of an additional … Continue reading

Well, it was a wild ride in Alabama, wasn’t it? When I went to bed Tuesday night, things were not only all but certain, but actually looking pretty bad–Moore was up at around 53%, with forty-some percent of the polls … Continue reading

Into Every Life…
My plan for this week was to go through a list found in my extensive browsing of the internet. The list topic? “Master List of Items to Stockpile for the Apocalypse.” I’ll get to the list (maybe next time), but … Continue reading

Cat’s Out of the Bottle, Djinni Won’t Get in the Bag
The inescapable news of the last week or so is, of course, the Mueller Report. Basically no-one has actually read it yet, so I’m not going to spend much time on it. But “not much” is not “none.” Frankly, I’m … Continue reading →
