We had some friends over last night and we spent the evening playing games while our kids played together in the next room. It was the most fun I've had in a while, and it got my mind off peak oil. I thought about it later, and I realized that friends and family, not basements or insulation, will be the most important things in the years to come. I'm doing what I can for now, and I'll continue to do what I can up until the time I need to use whatever skills I've picked up along that way. Hopefully I'll have a good night's sleep tonight.
...And the moonbats increase their ranks by one.
Well, maybe you're right. Do your friends and family have a hook in to one of those nice soybean farms all around you?
Hmm, even after looking up "moonbat" in wikipedia, I'm still not sure what you mean by it, or whether you're even trying to insult me. <shrug> If my doomerosity is less than yours, then I guess you win if civilization ends tomorrow, but I like to believe that there is still room for hope. It may be naive, but so be it - maybe I'm not yet ready to face the worst (but judging by my thoughts at 4:30 a.m., I'm quite capable of imagining every horrible detail).
And no, I don't have a hook into a soybean field. My father-in-law, however, owns 500+ acres of woods about 100 miles south of here, so I guess we could build a log cabin there if it comes to the worst.
