Greetings "old" peak oilers, well met peak oil newbies.
I am resurfacing long enough to give a progress update.
Since rediscovering petroleum depletion in early 2005 I have:
Quit my 50 mile commute for a 1/2 mile bicycle ride.
Sold my car (I still have the old pickup truck)
Lost 50 pounds. (due to personal power down)
Stopped cutting my hair.
Gone off line(mostly)
Stored enough food and supplies to survive a 60 day transportation shutdown.
Yet to do:
finish going organic
sell house
move to a "safer" area.
buy a few horses (this was in the plan all along anyway)
Peak oil view:
Hasn't changed much. Still think a soft landing is probable, in certain regions (plan well, my friends!)
Still think the US will collapse before PO becomes truly evident.
Be well. I will check in when I can.
MD
