indeed. well, misery loves company. economic fears spur so much. the 30s and early 40s in this country was populated by kooks of all varieties, not that we need any help now. but let me clear here, being prepared will make a difference. credit, save for a mortgage, is paid off. job appears to be intact. wage isn't great but it seems to suffice, at least for now. gardens are being planted, hens are laying eggs. there are some things, i suppose, that need tending, and while i am not afraid, i am ready.
Hopefully, your "ready" includes a firearm, else you may be tending a garden and Kentucky Fried Wonders for someone who does have one. Unless you are relying on 911.;-)
