a blanket and a space blanket, a candle in a glass, mittens, wool socks, hat, cup and bouillon cubes, can of nuts, jug of water, matches, wind-up flashlight. Getting stranded on a highway - I have been - or sliding off into a ditch...be prepared.
Should have a small emergency kit when flying too - taking into consideration what kind of ground you're flying over and what you might need ‘down there.”
Ditto - I’m a private pilot and I carry my emergency stuff in a vest with lots of pockets. Don’t want to scramble for a backpack if I had to crawl out of a wreck. My stuff is with me.
Where’s Willie Green
He’s on Liberty Post these days.
Where’s Willie Green?
He’s on www.LibertyPost.com these days. Still spouting the Agenda 21 Program nonsense about trains.
So, I guess he’s still advocating the seizure of private property to bankroll socialist causes while spouting off about his conservative credentials.

It's sad to see dementia take men like Willie Green.

It's like Dummie Funnies, except with Willie Green! Do you think Willie will figure out that the problem really is...him?
Wait a minute, was that from Liberty Post or Free Republic?
Liberty Post
My grandson takes this very train every week from 30th St Station to Parksburg, coming home from Drexel U for the weekend.
I year or two ago I looked into taking the train from Orlando to New Mexico. The Amtrak website plotted my trip from Orlando to Richmond, VA, then a bus from Richmond to some podunk VA town to pick up the train again - to Chicago. Then Chicago to NM. It was like 4 or 5 days just to get there.
No. I didn't take it.
No, once a socialist, always....
No surprise.
I believe he was banned for a long time from here in ‘08 and it didn’t have anything to do with the train nonsense, I thought, but of course could be wrong, that he was a rudybot and got banished to “wankers for Rudyland”, then made a come back a year or so later with the train business.
I rather liked Willie except for his few obsessions.

Very true, when I was in my twenties I went through a period when for some reason I was only eating once every 24 hours. Granted it was a big meal when I did eat but I don’t recall being hungry at all. I can’t even remember why I got started at it now, it wasn’t for lack of money though.
Look on a map for the intersection of I-95 and I-26 in South Carolina. In 1973 people were stranded all through the area by snow! It was 17 inches deep where I live and up to 25 inches were reported South of here. Some were airlifted off the highway then. My supervisor on the job I had then lived in Columbia and he had taken his wife and 3 children to Charleston. He started driving back in the snow and they wound up spending 3 days at a service station at the intersection of 95 and 26.

Howdy neighbor! I’m in Elkton.
