I took your advice earlier, Judith Anne, and went out to the garden to check on the progress of my flowers, tomatoes, and peppers. Then picked some fresh lettuce and spinach for tonight's dinner salad.

I have lots of good ideas about how to stop this, and I am sure they do too! The problem is that they all are economically disastrous, and politically radioactive.

Never mind the total riot and breakdown of civil discourse we would see on the floor of the General Security Council! (That is my pathetic attempt to be funny, and I admit I am humor-impaired...)

I imagine nothing but martial law would be effective, and you know what a horrible flame-war regarding which conspiracy theory was correct could be started start amongst some in our midst.

Reynolds doesn't make enough aluminum foil to cover the heads on that one. I wouldn't like it much either, since we are among the self- employed who do not get paid if we do not work!

Even our Amish friends no longer could manage without a weeklytrip to the supermarket. I know many of them, and they are losing their self-reliance in all but the strictest branches.

We can be self-sufficient, if necessary, but naturally I'm hoping it ISN'T.
