    • ...and it's not just moral or political depravity: the electricity is as scarce as reason here nowadays thanks to some super-windy storm. I have to borrow some electricity from my very good neighbor.

    The meteorologists are way off sometimes, and I wonder if meteorology will go the way of phrenology. The changes in the atmosphere are getting strange, and it's not "global warming" or some other politicized idiocy. Pope St. Gregory the Great preached to the Romans, as we read in the Homily of the Third Nocturn of Matins in the Office of this past Sunday,

    Quote
    As yet we do not see signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; but the changes of seasons and climates warn us that we may look for these also before long.


    It's just neat that this sort of stuff happens after I heard the eschatological discourse of Our Lord according to St. Luke this past Sunday.

    • Thank you.  I am hoping to be in France by that time but if I'm not, I'll... be dead because I live right near the water.  But if either of those things fail to happen I'll pay you a visit.  You live in Santa Ana, correct?

    Actually I live in Lake Arrowhead, otherwise I'd be just as close to water and dead like you lol. But I grew up much closer to LA, worked in parts of LA, but moved inland. Its funny, I never had a 'great' reason for moving up here, apart from wanting my children to grow up a little further from the city. But now I can pretend I'm high enough (5,500 ft) in the San Bernardino mountains to avoid any immediate death :wink: This is the case where you and Hobble are invited, granted there is enough lead time.

    Alex- I think you're better off driving inland! Jim- why yes of course!

    Okay, I'm gonna draft up some contingency plans today  :laugh1:

    •    Well heck, anyone live in Indiana???

       I got silver, plenty of guns/ammo, stored food, water purification, a bug-out cabin, portable hand wash machine, gas/kerosene, lamps, cots/sleeping bags/blankets, private fishing pond, etc.

       Big Problem: Nobody to defend it all but myself, wife, and 3 (soon to be 4) infant sons.

    • Lol, I'm glad you cleared that up s2Srea.  I was just talking to Alex on the phone and we were a bit taken aback by that.  The lack of Lebanese solidarity was a bit disturbing for said Alex  :dancing:

    Well at least you Buckeyes are used to not having running water and electricity ;)  I actually did by a HUGE containter of peanut butter too, but unfortunately it didn't last long.
