The Food I Buy Is Changing, a Lot.
It is evident. My last few trips to the grocery store have yielded what I believe what others have been talking about now for some time. But to me it is visually noticeable. I know this because I am a creature of habit. Being a single guy, I generally purchase the same things over and […]
Would YOU be a shelter? (Remembering Anne Frank)
Everyone loves a scapegoat. Throughout history whenever something terrible happens either for reasons too complex for the common person to grasp or just the culmination of many other events people as a whole try to seek out someone, some group of people, to blame for the problem. Rarely do they see themselves as a cause […]
A Cold Winter in Urbania
It may not be the coldest winter on record but the winter of 2010/2011 sure felt like it was in the Northeast. And it is definitely one of the snowiest in living memory and on record. Pretty much every week since the beginning of the New Year has brought a snow storm. Fortunately the price […]

The Short on Shortages.
Briefly, I want to think Suburban for the opportunity to post on his blog. Onward… I’ve been thinking about “shortages”. What it really means to have a “shortage”. As I walk down the isles of my local supermarkets I still see full shelves of a wide variety of fresh good quality foods. And thankfully still […]

Interesting Conversation
I have a friend that is a financial advisor and stock broker in the NYC area. I actually have a few of them, but last evening while we were out to dinner in NYC, he mentioned a couple of his predictions for our economy in the not to distant future. I logged them in my […]
Financial Readiness for Survival (A Personal Note)
I’ve come to terms this week and come to a couple of conclusions. That as a survivalist, prepper, or whatever you want to call me, I am not financially prepared for a large or even mid-size emergency. I used to be prepared for the midsize emergency, had no debt other than a car payment, and […]
One Hour Meltdown and More. Thanks Survival Mom.
Thanks for scaring me to death… Not really… Back in January of 2010 The SurvivalMom published a post on “The One-Hour Meltdown.” I actually came across this last week for the first time. Not sure how I missed it, but, in trolling her blog, it popped up. She’s right to be scared of this, especially […]

So here is what the show is about; The Bruce family is strapped for cash and $300 short on rent. Fearing eviction, they spring into action. Dad Todd tries to collect on […]
