If your asking why I post only excerpts, it is due to the formatting that Blogger provides me. If I could carry over the formatting from my site to here. I would do it in a heart beat.

The content of your site can be posted here quite easily by grabbing the source.

"Mom always told you to put on clean underwear..."


“People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there.”




Heavy traffic moves along a busy road as it rains during a power-cut at the toll-gates at Gurgaon on the outskirts of New Delhi July 31, 2012. REUTERS-StringerI don’t think you really get how serious things are becoming.

I want you to take a moment and look at this photo.

Do you know where this is?

This is India over the past two days.

According to Associated Press, Reuters and other sources today there is 600 million people without power.

600 Million People! That is equal to the entire population of North America and Central America!

Can you imagine if that was here? 

What would happen?  What has happened before?  Remember the east coast black out in 2003? It affected millions of people!  No transportation, no power to the grocery stores, no power to the banks.
11 people died, and that was only in a 24 hour period!  What if it would have been longer? 

How would you react if the power went out?

Better yet… what if the power never came back on?  As I have posted before NBC is getting ready to launch a show that I am absolutely stoked for.  The premise of the power going out completely and never coming back on is really going to freak people out. 
I only c/p'ed down to the first embedded video, as FR does not allow that application to be posted.

Contrary to what the anti-blog freeperbeaters convey, I don't see anything wrong with posting a fairly long excerpt (with live links just like in the article, using HTML) with a link back to the site.

Your blog is quite clean, no invasive ads or popups and nothing my anti-virus has to warn me about.

Good article, thanks for posting!

And if you would like for me to post the rest of your article (sans embedded videos), just ask as I would be glad to do it for you.

Hey... thanks for the heads up. I do my best to keep my blog from being over saturated with “stuff”.

I try to think how my readers would feel when I put things together.

I appreciate the positive feed back! I may give that a try tonight!

Thanks again.

Jay
