Acknowledging our Losses

As a player, losing a hard-fought chess game rewards me with a great opportunity to learn more about myself or the game of chess.

As citizens, economically, we're losing a game we could never hope to control ourselves. $500 today will only buy us what $300 could just 10 years ago and it's getting worse. The dollar has fallen behind the euro & continues to slip.

Change is inevitable.......

We must change to survive economically and physically. We also need to change our lifestyles to survive spiritually. This means we need to think smaller, utilize local business and farming and continued use of alternative energies.

I don't plan on going anywhere, just changing.

As a whole, we have become a much poorer society and we're faced with the unavoidable task of making major changes in how we live.

So, I'm getting some chickens and maybe a cow, too. And minimize uneccessary expenditures.

Amnesia

Geez, I darn near forgot I had a blog.

Surgery went very well. They snipped an adhesion & fixed a double hernia. The next two weeks were pretty rough.

I'm feeling great, now - just been busy. Gonna get some chickens & put fencing up for a cow for next year. I cleaned the barn, too.

Gotta finish the chicken coop first, tho.

And get corn planted today.
