Here in NW Oregon the power companies and government always runs ads telling us to have three days of supplies on hand for a power outage from snow/ice/landslide taking out power. Few people do that. We have a pending threat of a large earthquake and the mantra for that is "Two Weeks Ready" meaning food/water/meds/pet food... ; can't be that many people have that much on hand. We have plenty of supplies and a well. I think you have to be mentally ready to be without entertainment. Without TV , internet, cell service you don't have the instant and never-ending distractions so you have plenty of time to scare yourself. We have lots of books and board games, decks of cards. Gonna have to live by the sun and let your days be shorter. Save your batteries and fuel for when you really need them. Our greater metro area has a larger threat of fuel shortages long-term. There are 900 million gallons of fuel down by the river on dredged soil. With a good quake those tanks are going to break and then the fire trucks, power company crews, police don't have the fuel they need to restore/rebuild. We aren't going to bounce back from a big quake in two weeks. What if your office building fell down? How will you work and earn? No money, how will you survive? There's more to it than beans and bullets. Better have some Benjamins rat-holed too. Excellent topis and I appreciate the honest answers.

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
