A Christian nation would NEVER legalize abortion or euthanasia. NEVER.

PS My wagon will probably be drawn by yaks.
Make sure to get the yaks before the SHTF. Otherwise, you'll be what's pulling your wagon.

You make a good point. I will have write these down. Plus one: when the guy shows up and starts asking everyone personal questions: Shot him because he is going to start killing people.

Yep, and that’s what I’m doing (about to fence). Although meat demand would likely be way down after we are nuked (due to current inaction on Iran, etc.), and several friendly neighbors have herds of yaks. Area would be nearly impossible for most to get to from cities with the vehicle problems, fuel problems and other problems in such scenario. The weather up here would be more dangerous than anything else (-30 F or lower, frequent 100+ mph winds all seasons, not much surface water, extreme sun exposure without much atmosphere overhead). Oh...saw a mountain lion just the day before yesterday, and it was daylight (unusual, daylight sightings). And city slicker loads don’t work very well (high winds, extreme cold, extreme visibility, distances,...). Need those Elmer Fudd kinda loads (huge and heavy, you know). ;-)

Almost done with “enemies.” My compliments, sir. Well done!

Eye-opening stuff!

Thank you for the link. I love Montagues! My wife and I have a Montague folding tandem. They were made for a few years. It folds into a Z-shape and can be completely unfolded and assembled in under five minutes. It fits behind the rear seats in our Piper Cherokee. I actually wrote and had a magazine article published around 15 years ago about it.

From what height above the water was that photo taken?

There once was a young man named Max,
Who avoided the gasoline tax.
The reason, you see,
Was his Vespa burned pee
From his grandfather’s herd of tame yaks.

So, from that point on the mast, is the horizon about nine nautical miles away?

Sheesh, I can’t recall off hand. There are simple graphs for height of eye and distance to horizon.

This is from Damnation alley. Pretty well thought out

This is one of the late Keith Laumer's BOLOs. Also well-thought out.

Can a diesel Hummer run on whale oil?

A multifuel deuce-and-a-half can.

I wish someone would try it.

It would really drive the envirowackos over the edge.
