Sick and travle

Well the kids have given me a cold right before we are to go to Arkansas for thanksgiving. Travel is going to be bad and trying to keep the kids roped up so they don't wonder off. As well as keeping my wife on track and not obsessing over small stupid stuff. I was thinking do penguins get colds, or do they get hots????

Hello again

I did find a new gener of music called Steam Punk which is most interesting. I did find Abney Park which is from my old home town of Seattle and Dr Steel which is funny. We are going away for a while and soon for thanksgiving back to Arkansas.

At it again

After spending the day doing most of nothing, one of my days off. I am forced to think about some of the simple happy things in life. I am planning what to do with our tax return already. Most of it will go to dig us out of more debt and canning supplies. We learned the hard way, being prepared for the worst is not a kook survivalist thing it is just smart. While we were stationed in Washington the main road into the area got 20 foot of snow. That shut everything down for a month. Even the army base was called level 3 or black road condition. Which means that even if you were stupid enough to make it to post they were turning people away. The main stores in the area quickly ran out of basics. We were lucky and did not have children at that time. Lets face it being prepared is just down right smart.

shut down of trucking

My best friend is in the trucking industry. The shippers are coming in to port half loaded or nearly empty. He said that he saw hundreds of ships sitting at dock that normally would be moving freight. For the first time in years he was sent away from the dock with no load. NO DELIVERY TO ANY STORE. Main stores that would be ramping up for Christmas is getting nothing in. The food delivery of produce has been cut by 20% now. This is not not not good. This is the start of the new depression. I am so scared for my children.
