Dagny, you are absolutely right. I might add that I keep a hatchet and collapsed Sven saw in the car, as well.
These personal preparations may be moot, as I see by the papers today are asserting that the PROCESS THAT SHALL BE NAMELESS is raising its ugly head. Without funding, any good plan is severely restricted......
A bit cryptic for me. What process is "the process that shall be nameless?"
What the government does or doesn't do or may or may not fund, is irrelevant to my personal preparedness.
In a major disaster here, I assume government will do nothing for me -- no services, no protection.
Living in DC, even at the best of times I have learned to have low expectations for government services.
