this is on the mind and in the works, I suspicion, around the country.
I'm a great grandmother. I've been around long enough to see a lot of stuff of stuff go down - NEVER thought I'd see such disingration of our country and certainly not as fast (of course, it isn't that fast. It's been just reached the tipping point of what the undermining that's been going on for decades.)
But back to what I started to say - in response to your post.
I live in a rural area - got back here 30 years ago - by choice. I was down to the Village store today - (It's a one store town and we have a general store, complete with a few tables down back where get coffee, eats, do the daily crossword puzzle and chew the fat.
In the course of conversation, I remarked that it might be time to start looking for like minded people to form a small community and dig in. Whoa. I was surprised at the response.
They totally and seriously agreed with me, had all been doing the same thinking - and we got into details.
I and some of my 'kids' have been leaning this way for some time now and I know from forums and blogs online that others are too. But it took me aback some that the whole group at the store have also been thinking on this - and putting in supplies...growing double the size gardens, etc.
Not sure if that is reassuring or disturbing - I think a bit disturbing because it verifies for me that this danger is very real.
I'm beginning to feel like the people you read about in history books and the steps before their civilization collapsed.
Welcome to the Dark ages.
That’s remarkable, isn’t it? People we run into in the course of just going about living- lots of them are thinking the same things we are.
In the last 6 months I’ve had conversations with the cable guy and the fellow who put the tile in the kitchen ..they are both up to here with what’s going on and are wondering how to prepare, what to do, etc.
It’s simmering just beneath the surface.
