Couple U guys was talking bad about Green Day when I brought it up !- If U ever wonder what an old man would be doing listening to that ?-- Green Day and U2- The Saints are Coming ! I was there in the New Orleans area in the aftermath of Katrina !- The song still makes me cry and the video makes me angry ! Where was the help ?
Hope U never have to find out yourself but I tell U what F.E.M.A. - stands for - Fix Everything My A**! -- Blowed the leaves off the trees Ya'll !-- When someone say the wind is screaming ?-- I know what that sound like ! Scary !- Me and mine had it easy !- A fan - a radio- a lamp !- gas grill for a kitchen - a pantry full of can goods - dry beans , rice - and as the freezer defrosted I already had a jury rigged smoker ! Plenty of wood !- We never lost running water !- Without that it would have been a little tougher !- I grew up in the woods and spent 8 years in the army !- We didn't need much !- Them people at the Superdome wasn't like me !- Somebody shoulda done something besides blame the victims !
Rose when we were huddled in the hall and it sounded and felt like we were under a runaway freight train-- I had the essentials covered !- Had about half a kilo of weed and wasn't planning on dying without a glorious buzz either !- Ever been really , really high and expect to die any minute !- Yoop knows how it feels !-
It amazes me that the general populous is unprepared for emergencies. I personally could feed my family for a couple of months, maybe more if SHTF tomorrow. You eat the stuff in the fridge first, after a couple of days you start on the freezer goodies, and then on to the caned/dried goodies. I've got a well (no pitcher pump yet) and a genny for the pump, enough wood to last for months in the fireplace, and enough arms and ammunition to discourage uninvited guests.
Got enough weed/hash to stay comfortably numb for years, too!
Good morning Krav and the rest of the OFC, the late risers. Gotta be wake and bake time. Cause if you are awake it`s bake time. Coffee in one, bowl in the other and have at it.
My wife`s healing, the in-laws are only staying one night (thank somebody), spring in trying, most of the snow is gone, it hit 60 yesterday. Things be lookin` up.
morning hippie, krav, yoop and the rest of the ofc. wake but no bake, just didn't feel it this morning, ding coffees done. yall folks have a great day.
Morning OFC. No bake for me today either. More dental work. Lots of survivalists in N Cali, but a devastation like Katrina isn't something they are prepared for. Sandy had me scared. FEMA did a much better job. Problem there was Christy withholding funds until he made everyone kiss his ring.
Yooper man, that's GREAT news!
(Thank you for the updates, you and yours are in my thoughts a lot. IDK why, just something similar/familiar between us.)
And then there is the bond we ALL share here (toke, sip)
Yoop I knew there was something I wanted to say to you and just plain forgot. It was about your better half. I hope she is doing alsome and I know she's ready to come home. More well wishes to her.
RIP "Sharky". You were a good friend and a loyal companion. You're laughing with Buddha and your days of pain are over. You filled three lives with endless joy, and left a hole the size of the Grand Canyon in our hearts. Good bye, old friend. I'll be joining you soon.
