8) Grow a backyard garden

Growing a garden in your back yard will save you money on your shopping bill now, but will literally save your life when aliens invade and the world destroys itself fighting off the invasion. People are doing miraculous things with very small space, turning typical suburban back yards into teeming microfarms that produce a wide and tasty array of fruits and vegetables. It might not be a bad idea to invest in a few robot machine-gun nests to protect the crop after the invasion.

If a meteor strikes the nation's capital and we're cast into anarchy

If a meteor destroyed Washington, it could lead to a new birth of freedom. The State governments would still be here, not that they're so great, but at least they would be supreme again as they were at the Founding.

Hi! Di!

Re: #8 the picture with the teepee sticks in the garden... What plants are those built for? What a great idea for a trellis!

A very nice looking garden. But the aliens will head there and take what they want during the invasion so you may not be safe.
