    They call themselves 'preppers.' They are regular people with homes and families. But like the survivalists that came before them, they're preparing for the worst.

    St. Jude, who, disregarding the threats of the impious, courageously preached the doctrine of Christ,
    pray for us.

  • I must be a "death-ist" because I have no survivalist instinct.

    If what we're heading for is some kind of mega-apocalpyse, I'd prefer to just die rather than holing myself up with a shotgun, blasting the poor wretches who are trying to get at my baked-beans supply.  It would be a hopeless situation -- 300 million people in a state of starvation and desperation.  Why go to God with blood on your hands for nothing?

    Speaking of apocalypse, I live near the ocean in Manhattan Beach, CA, and they have been putting up these risible tsunami warning signs:



    This one is hilarious.  It tells you how to escape from the tsunami by means of an arrow, and where does that arrow point?  Away from the beach.

    Actually, I did some research about the area where I live, and it is like in some alcove that is totally protected from tsunamis.  I don't understand the science of it, but that's the impression I got.  
    Readers: Please IGNORE all my postings here. I was a recent convert and fell into errors, even heresy for which hopefully my ignorance excuses. These include rejecting the "rhythm method," rejecting the idea of "implicit faith," and being brieflfy quasi-Jansenist. I also posted occasions of sins and links to occasions of sin, not understanding the concept much at the time, so do not follow my links.
