Nah, half of us are doing perfectly fine like that, & the rest can be fully
dressed in short time. . .

We're not all armred -- very few are, but we have tough militias practicing
regularly for any need. (I start to think, "cool!" then I remember reading
Orwell's "Animal Farm"(on my own--it's been out of the curriculum since before
I was born)

I've sesen that one -- I think they're praying for football?

I think it's originally a Canadian editorial cartoon. . .

Like I say, "The good Lord willing, & the creek don't rise."

I've done all I can do -- my family has enough supplies to ride thigs out for a
while, & some cash reserves, in case we need to order groceries by delivery
after then.

Every time I hear a pol or talking head say, "climate change" I yell at the TV:
"It's called weather, ya dummy!"; I amuse my kids in how I coment on ads &
other BS nmy tTVtries to feed me.

Little do they know, I just want them to be able to see how I identify lies &
employ critical thinking, since they won't learn this in school.

My dad expected me to follow the orders at school, but also to think for myself
in interpreting what I learn.  My mom was less cynical & questioning, but I am
glad to have a balance of both -- I can enjoy the good things, while being
aware of life's pitfalls.

Of course, in the 30+ years since I left hjome at age 12, I've gone far beyond
their teachings in both categories.

I like getting my information from the horse's mouth, not the other end. & I
like that I can tell when the old switcheroo has been done & what's coming out
of a mouth was born at the other end!

Can't teach this, I'm sure, or if one can, I've no clue how to begin. . .
