Yes, your thoughts are very accurate.

We may not be able to live in the cities, not for the reasons you are thinking of, such as food and heat, but rather, due to the fact that we are loosing them to the gangs.

Most are not aware of how many gangs we have, or how the leaders of them, are working towards some goal, that is bigger than dope, etc.

Again the media does not cover what is really happening.

I wish people would shut off the tv and listen to the police scanners. For just one week, hell one day would be a wake up call.

To find a scanner for your area, google for:

listen to police scanner on the internet

Dig around and they are there.

Las Vegas and Denver are as bad as San Diego.

Weapons, threats, gang attacks.

Some days it is one call after the other, knives, guns, and baseball bats, skateboards are used as a weapon and then he gets on it and rides off into the sunset.

They are taking over the cities and other towns.

They are also associated with al-qaeda and run the weapons, smuggle in the terrorists and of course the dope.

They drive down the street and shoot people that are not connected to gangs, just a wee bit of joy killing.

You are right, money will be useless, there won’t be any, it will be a matter of what do I have that you will trade for.

When we lived at Wellton, we would be flooded in, not our property, but the roadway a mile away.

We made sure to be home for the floods, so we could have the day off....LOL a mini holiday.

It has surely come to your attention, that I like to try new recipes, so when the Welch grape juice recipe came out to make wine in a jar, with a balloon on top I started a couple of them, got tired of the smell, and out to the storage shed they went for the next 2 years, this is in Yuma weather, 120 in the summer.

Came a flood and we could tell that the water was still up, as the 4 or 5 old men who lived down the road, kept driving over to look.

Bill went for a look and they waved him in, so he stopped, and talked to them.

Soon he was back and wanting to know “what ever happened to that wine you were making?”

He dusted it off and took it over to the men, and traded with them for a bunch of stuff they would not sell him a month before, the compressor alone, was worth $120.

And they were so anxious for booze that they were willing to pay the price.

LOL and told Bill that if I made more, to let them know.

I will never know what it tasted like.....

But that is what the brandy, whiskey, etc is worth, when a drinker wants a drink.

People who saw the bottles of booze that we kept on hand, were always surprised as we didn’t drink it and I learned to not serve it, if I wanted to talk to sober folks.

Things like herbs are important, if one knows how to use them.

The main thing, the most important, is to be aware that we are in danger and could be hit at any time, with that mindset, one is able to react in a cool manner.

I fear for the young people, they do not listen, will not learn and may pay a price that is their very life.

I join you in wanting a thread that the others will talk on, as I have one already that is read, but few comment on.

I have 17 on my ping list, and may have missed some, that isn’t bad for 48 hours, I do not know why we are in chat, but we will survive.

I think that more self-employment on a shoe string ideas are needed, a subject that always interested me.

Take care and stay safe, thank you for being here,
