Watching the World Burn

Posted on 08/29/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Or, well, the Amazon, anyway. And if Dear Leader has his way, likely the wilds of Alaska soon, too. And now, as I type this, he’s apparently considering “changing the rules,” such that the children of U.S. Servicemembers born overseas … Continue reading →

Recovery Mode

Posted on 08/15/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

Thanks, everyone, for your concern regarding my finger. I went through a full antibiotics regime, and the infection has been gone ever since. Now it’s just a question of letting the cells repair themselves, and getting the swelling to go … Continue reading →

It Could Happen

Posted on 06/06/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

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 →

A Few Realities

Posted on 02/14/2019 by leftwingsurvivalist

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 →

Back at it

Posted on 12/06/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

Real World update: 7.2 magnitude earthquake, just outside Anchorage. As I keep saying, don’t prep for the “End of the World;” rather, prep for what could happen where you are. Anchorage, unfortunately, gets hit in lots of ways. They’ve got … Continue reading →

Ancestral Hard Times

Posted on 10/11/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

I was trolling about the internet the other day, as I’m wont to do, and stumbled across and interesting site: Next Preppers. Their stock-in-trade seems to be list posts, of the “X items that will help you survive the apocalypse” … Continue reading →

Whipsaw Weather

Posted on 03/08/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

“In like a lion…” A deranged, manic-depressive lion, perhaps. We’ve had days of phenomenal weather, followed by rain, sleet, and snow.  Closer to the latter, as I write this. The various “spring” plants are coming up, though, and things are … Continue reading →

Yeah, About That

Posted on 01/25/2018 by leftwingsurvivalist

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 →
