Not too long ago a city feller passing through was trying to visit with me. He asked me if we had birds and insects here, when I informed him yes we have all kinds of birds and insects here he said he didn’t expect to see any living creatures here since it was desert. He could not figure out how they could exist without water.

City people are a source of amazing confused thinking.

I once had a couple of city women INSIST that since mules were sterile they were also asexual. They could not accept that mules come in male and female. These were supposedly educated people.

Oh the stories I could tell about city people out of their element. What amazes me is most don’t have any idea what they don’t know and act like country folks are so stupid.

Just today dealt with one at work that had no idea you couldn’t stack cardboard boxes in the hot water heater room when the hot water heater is propane. That room has barely the legal clearance and he filled that clearance with cardboard boxes- some had shredded paper in them. The boxes were less than 4 inches from the flame- which was open because another idiot left the cover off. Lucky I found out what he did before the building burned down. He said he thought the hot water heater room was a storage room. I hate to admit this guy is LEO and of course is armed. Scary thought. I was so mad at the stupidity while we were moving the boxes and his supervisor was defending him- “oh he probably just didn’t know” WHAT- didn’t know you can’t put boxes next to an open flame? Are you kidding me?

Folks these are the people that some are worried will come to the boonies and take our food and such when things fall apart. I think there will be more that just won’t make it at all if they have to do any thinking on their own.
