Now What?
Now What?
I have been suffering through some sleepless nights. After all this research on Avian Flu, Peak Oil, Survivalism, Global Warming and Alternative Energy Sources, my conscious mind has a hard time shutting down. Last night was a perfect example. I went to bed at a reasonable time and could not get comfortable. I put up with a headache for a long time till I finally decided to take a painkiller. I still could not sleep and lay there for about an hour. I was disturbing my girlfriend’s sleep so I got up and decided to write.
Writing takes the chaos out of my mind and gets it down on paper or pixels. Recently I have been raving, taking events as I see them and taking them to their extreme logical conclusions. I do not like being the messenger of bad news. I don’t like my girlfriend calling me Mr. Joyful when I get talking about the stuff I have uncovered. I do not want to upset her yet I do want her to be mentally prepared for what I see coming. Here in Canada we have not had the same type of major yearly disasters (hurricanes, floods and fires) the States seem to get. When Quebec had a major ice storm, all of Canada helped out. Yes, the Government did some stuff, but not enough. Quebec did not have a plan in place for something like this and neither did the Feds. Governments can not act fast enough if they do not have the plans in place AND make sure that the public and the public servants know exactly what those plans are. The States fumbled the ball with New Orleans. The conspiracy mongers say that was done on purpose since the federal government down there was briefed. I do not know whom to believe, but Bush and Cheney have been caught in many lies already. You be the judge.
I read my own stuff and try to look at it like I was reading it from another person’s viewpoint. I am sure I have offended some people but that can’t be helped. Sometimes I feel I am reading a sleazy newsrag or science fiction. My views are not in line with what everyone else thinks. I can live with that.
Now what? What do I do to prepare? The short answer is everything I can within my means. I do not want the things I see to come true. Sometimes I hate being right. Right now (in the next few days) I will be testing a couple of MRE’s that are the same, but 3 years difference to see if there is a change of flavour or texture. According to what I have read, there should be no difference in nutrient value.
I would not mind getting a few boxes of MRE’s as a back up emergency food source when I get sick and tired of cooking the same meals. My higher priority is to get alfalfa seed to use for sprouting. Same with a few dozen kilos of raw sunflower seeds for sprouting and for other things. Peanut butter will still be a good thing to get (I am not allergic to peanuts), even if it turned rancid, I could use it as a fuel source or lubrication or feed it to my worms. The stuff that is cheap today will be the best trade goods tomorrow. I am building a solar water heater, a solar food dryer, a solar wax melter and a solar water distiller. I want to get a couple of drums from Larry next door to have as emergency fire burners. There s so much to do and so little time to do it. I need to get as much propane, Coleman fuel, pure alcohol and other fuels together this year. I need to make enough money to order another 100 pounds of bee’s wax. I need to do this and pay all my bills at the same time. I have some hope that one of my online ventures will pay off. I need to promote my portal more. The new site they created with all the programs, books and services for sales should be the next URL I promote. The URL is http://maximumheavytraffic.com/mibmy137
