If ALL of our fruits and nuts are to be imported from foreign places as the Central California Valley becomes a dust bowl............ this will HIKE PRICES TERRIBLY and increase worries about possible diseases. Yet, the sources will be so hard to track.
Lots of my friends still living in California laugh off their current woes, (legalizing marijuana being discussed, Prop 8 woes, wildfires, bankrupt cities, possibility of more earthquakes, drought, and now dying orchards....... they say they are not worried because if things get tougher...... they will just come and live with me. If all your friends and family are planning to just come and live with you too..... maybe I will see you at the nursery this afternoon also......... and we will buy a few more fruit trees together.<<<
All in all, your post about covers what is floating around in my head, the ugly facts of what is coming.
Such a simple thing, storing food and being prepared for what is coming and the fools do not do it.
In my youth, you went to town maybe, every few months and in the bad years, once, for supplies, and if you didn’t have any money for shopping, you bought seeds for the next crop and made do with what you could find.
Ate lots of Prairie Hens and Cottontails. Saved the Chickens for hard times and eggs.
They are now dumbing down the third generation in our schools and few of them have a clue as to what is going to hit them.
I don’t see much food value in a 2 inch fish.
Thank you for that post Granny. Our worthless governor met the Latino Water Coalition near the Los Banos Reservoir after that group had marched for three days and nearly 50 miles. He was there for ten minutes, mouthed some platitudes and led a couple of half-hearted chants, “We need water! We need water!” Then he left and proceeded to do nothing further.
The one thing that came of it was that long-time liberal comedian Paul Rodriguez is starting to see how the environmentalists lie. They threatened him that he would not get comedy venues if he fought them.
We are in a war and most folks don’t even recognize it.
