Ms. Buckle needs to get the heck out of Zim before planting season ends. It’s going to get even worse there when the harvest fails (which it will).

You don’t want to be around when angry mobs declare “party time” when looking for food.

There has been a hiatus in my resumption of posting Cathy Buckle's weekly letters, for which I apologise.

My son had embarked on a renovation project on our home that involved removing every bit of our possessions and sending me and the XYL away on a vacation to keep us (and especially my lungs) away from the dust and sawdust as he took up all the broadloom and refinished the underlying hardwood floors. He did not want to even visit the place until the dust was gone.

So we have been living in a lakefront condominium on the Precambrian Shield, loaned to me by my cousin. Very relaxing.

Unfortunately, it has no Internet feed. Also very relaxing, I suppose.

Since returning we have been making decisions on a piece-by-piece basis as to what to move back into the house and when to do it.

Ever notice how Socialist countries always have "droughts" and "crop failures"? Funny how Free Countries have the same weather, yet are usually able to feed their own people.

P.S. If overcrowding caused poverty, then Japan and Belgium would be New Delhi-like hellholes.

Has anyone compiled Cathy's writings in a chronological order and put them all in one book? What would the title be?

Power to the People

Power Corrupts

The Story of a Nation

Some People Never Learn. etc., etc., etc.
