I’m 1/3 the wat thru a Ludlum novel.
Will be setting it down to read Atlas Shrugged again.

It IS coming and none of us are getting into the gulch.

[Publius]

If you're going to reread Atlas Shrugged, please buy Who is John Galt?, a wonderful companion book to Rand's volume, written by two veteran FReepers.

If you're reading Ludlum, read The Aquitane Progression, the end of which describes our current situation perfectly.

It IS coming and none of us are getting into the gulch.

Speak for yourself. I'm a shoe in because I'm enviously resourceful.

The gulch is anywhere further than 1/2 tank of gas from a major metropolitan area and with climate extremes of over 105 or under 0 for more than 5 days in a row a year. Bonus points for high density of hostile or poisonous wildlife.
