Well, here's something else to think about and that is fuel. For what it's worth, i can't remember if i already posted this or not, but i already worked a theft of gas from a vehicle. You might think ---no big deal----but in this instance what had happened was someone crawled underneath the van and punched a hole in the gas tank and drained it. Purty easy to do i guess since the gas tanks now-a-days are plastic.............I think the replacement/repair bill was over $400.00.

Diesel thefts up also out in the county from farms.

So if ya got a garage ya might want to lock it up. If ya don't, ya might want to keep your eye on things and listen for the dog.

With fuel gettin' as high as it is, some folks may start gettin' stupid and a confrontation could happen when you least expect it................

Today was payday and as usual we went to the dollar store for round one of grocery shoppin'............it ain't funny how the prices are climbin' on foods.

We have been makin' a point of buyin' xtra canned foods each payday and stockin' up a bit more. You know the drill, chilli, corn, sweet peas, tomatos, soups, stew, basicly anything sealed that we don't have to add water to.....
just a bit here and there kind of like a savin's account being added to.............

The kids will eat potted meat and spam i imagine if they get hungry enough........

Our thinkin' here is not so much SHTF, but a possible major economic depression..........which of course as mentioned---desperate folks will do desperate things..............

perhaps we can all meet somewhere in the middle and keep it between the lines

i hate the "new world order"
i despise and distrust the united nations
and i distrust any business that sends jobs and money overseas just for the banner of more proffit.

in today's world and global economy, embargos and trade barriers and tarriffs will not work becaue big corporations that have power will not alow them to work.

on one hand the old me says slap tarrifs on imports and offer protection to the workin' man and companies left over here...........

and again, on the other hand, drop the embargo to cuba and lets get some tradin' goin' there and make some money.

The "i've had enough" part keeps sayin' to drop nukes instead of sendin' troops as we can drill wells thru glass as easily thru sand................take over or die.....................

well, i guess we could jack up the price of wheat shipped over-seas, stop givin' away money in foreign aide, bring our troops home to guard our borders instead of spendin' billions over-seas supportin' economies in germany and such with our military bases-------i think that would be a good start.
