I am not a tech person. So, I don't know much about what media and technology can or cannot do. But there are many stories around about ads or articles popping up in front of you to make you feel superstitious. Like once I was in need of some shoes o

The position in the UK remains similar. Shortages of individual foods but no general food shortage. Butter is short at present. Propane remains short, even in Summer, as does kerosene. Neither is widely used. One odd shortage is white coveralls.

After more than 25 years of full time RV living, mostly in remote areas, I make the following observations. The most dangerous threats are fire, flood and trees. Fire: If you are in a remote area, a lightning caused fire will prompt heavy traffic i
