I'm much too old and have too poor a prognosis to get twisted about the future,

I'm so sorry to hear that.....(not that you aren't 'twisted' about the future - that part is good)

Am I reading the Labor Stats right - unemployment is really at 15-16%?

from growing up DEEP in the woods, it's funny,... but it kinda feels like going back in time...

My husband was just saying that if/when TSHTS and we move to the mountains, life will be very simple. Not easy, but simple - the getting and preparing of food and every day necessities will take on a greater importance than it has now. And all other trivialities will fade in importance. I kinda like the idea. This last summer, I lived in the woods and tried to have a Thoreau-style life. It was marvelous! So, I'm not really dreading the worst case as much as I might otherwise be.

Where did you grow up?
