MERRY CHRISTMAS
I think what this day is to me is to be thankful for what you have as nothing in this world is guaranteed. I struggle to keep it going day to day but that's fine.That's what Dads are supposed to do. My Family is healthy & They have a place to live and food in the refrigerator.In these trying times like these I will be happy to settle for that. MERRY CHRISTMAS to EVERYONE I know and may you all have a blessed day. And also Happy Birthday to Debbie my wonderful wife who deserves better than me!!

Sorry about the lack of post,like people are putting there life on hold to see what's up with me....HA HA . The last 6 weeks have been a real pain in the ass.I've been to the doctor numerous times, twice for a ear infection,and a couple more to try and find out why I am almost crippled because of my right knee.I figured it was arthritis and after 3 visits with a couple of doctors the consensus is...... The friggin GOUT.
Fortunately after dispensing me a prescription of allopurinol My knee is coming around pretty good. And on top of that I have been trying to get my Dental needs taken caught up and have to have 3 teeth pulled.I'm going back next week to fix a cavity and see about getting a upper plate .And by the way these dentist are making way 2 much money.enough said on that. My rabbit breeding was a flop.I shoulda known better,But I'll breed 2 more does tomorrow.AND the damm dogs ate my 2 best hens.They dug a hole by the fence line and when a hen comes by ....Instant chicken munchies.I am gonna take
measures tomorrow that I think will stop that crap.Anyway that's what's going on in my neck of the woods ,Hope it's going better for you,later...........

Still true 70 years later
In a 70 year old comedy, Charlie Chaplin plays the role of a poor Jewish barber mistaken for Adolph Hitler. This is a speech Charlie gives at the end of the movie that seems like it fits pretty well with the events of the world today, and always will.

prepper mindset
Some interesting and true clips for the oath keepers blog:
The cold hard truth is, much of our country is completely unprepared for a crisis of any considerable proportion.The likelihood of social unrest and the long term implosion of our financial system is greater today than it has been in any other era of American history.
The eventuality of collapse is not the issue. Though America today has zero room to maneuver as far as inflationary printing and debt based spending are concerned, and economic instability is inevitable according to the fundamentals regardless of any practical or impractical political measures that could be introduced, the crisis is not our focus. Our focus is, and always has been, independence and self reliance regardless of the circumstances. Through national prosperity, or national pain, the key to survival is to never make assumptions. To never count on your environment to remain hospitable. To keep catastrophe in mind, even if others around you do not.
One vital aspect of survival that often goes unaccounted for by even the most astute preppers, however, is the issue of community. When the last vestiges of normal society crumble, will you be surrounded by friends, or foes?When the going gets brutal, who will have the guts to stand firm, who will run, and who will stab us right in the back if they get the chance?
The smart prepper understands well that going it alone is not an option, at least not for the long term. Thus, we are required to build relationships with those who live near us. If we cannot find enough like-minded souls in our immediate vicinity, then we must relocate to a place where this process is more viable (at least, if we want to survive). Staying put, wrapped in a web of tract homes or city dwellings filled with dangerously unaware and unprepared people is not an intelligent post collapse strategy. Retreat planning without proper group support and indigenous support is not only a logistical nightmare but a surefire avenue to discomfort of the terminal variety.
Think carefully about the kinds of people you want to have around you in the wake of disaster, and the community you plan to participate in after the smoke has cleared. The decisions you make now may be the kind you are stuck with for quite some time through events that will test your endurance and your very spirit. The more friendships we forge today with those who are prepared not just in supply, but in mind, the safer we will all be tomorrow. The company we keep in the days ahead is not a factor to be taken lightly
