And the most important principle of all is to *BE FLEXIBLE* in our planning — never assume that events will play out exactly as we envision them... And be emotionally prepared to abandon preconceived notions and impovise at any time.<<<

*BE FLEXIBLE*

AND

**BE PREPARED**

That is how I think, I am 100% in agreement with you.

Survival comes when you survive.

As simple as surviving when a partner says “will you take me to the hospital? I think I am having a heart attack” and it is 2 years before he works again, never as he did before.

For Mac and Myrt, it was a freak wind that put their mobile home on its roof and them with no insurance.

For some it is the loss of a job, the loss of the home and living in their car, home schooling their children, and doing the best that they can.

The night before the Oklahoma City Bombing, a young man who was a neighbor, had stopped for coffee, we were talking and he called me an old fool, for saying that the day would come, when we would be attacked on our own soil.

The next night, very white faced, he came to apologize, with all the days papers that he could get for me.

Where we lived in the hills, that radio did not work, so he was right, I did not know.

I think that any little thing, will set off the gangs and other fools who want to see the Great America fall.

We let this happen to our country.

I tried over the years to warn people, my family does not see what I see.

If we can round up the best information and get it into folks minds, then that is a plus on our record.

For if we have ‘never heard it’ then how will we know it is possible.

There is no way of knowing when the next disaster is coming or what it will be titled.

I have forgotten how to put the small branches on a shelter to make the water run off, maybe knowing it can be done is enough.

Maybe knowing that exposure to radiation, requires a shower with laundry soap, will never be used, but then I would do the same if I got sprayed with a chemical.

Dr. Bill Wattenberg should be on tonight at 10 pm, pacific time at kgo.com, he is worth listening to, for his tried and tested science answers, as simple as “do not put your babies bottle in the microwave” “it releases the plastic into the food” to “a nuclear bomb works like this”.

FRiends are the best in the world, none finer.
