" You can count on me, Uncle Ike. People that have "old fashioned skills" and live below their means are still out there; "

I know we're out here, dear lady... But we're the tiniest minority...

Think of Katrina-New Orleans as a laboratory demonstration of what happens when things break down. Now picture that happening on a national scale -- say, after an economic meltdown, when food and other essentials are either no longer available, or too expensive for us po' folk...

Then shudder......

I'll just smile and wave...sittin' on my sack of garden seeds. ;)

I used to think my Dad was absolutely NUTS to have guns and cash on hand and fresh water, etc. Most of the time he couched it in terms of "emergency supplies" in case we had a tornado or a bad blizzard or ice storm, but now that I'm older, I know what he was up to.

And it appears that the nut didn't fall too far from the tree, LOL! I'm not obsessed about it, but it never hurts to plan for the worst and hope for the best. :)
