Hard Times Coming

[oneshot]

Was looking on Internet.  Their saying before this is all said and done we won't have Electric or Gas.

Electric I can handle only had it a few years.  Gas is different.  But I have two Horses. 

Time to build Out House and catch Rain Water.

Sister said she has Generator. OK smarty where you going to get gas? They can't pump it and Plastic Money won't be any good.

They can't put it on the internet if it's not true.  People are going to be starving, cats lying down with dogs, floods, droughts, big mean bees, hammerhead worms much less hammerhead sharks.  You name it nothing good is ever going to happen again.

So is this the apocalypse?  Is armageddon around the corner?

Well what I was reading makes sense and at times like this not going to be caught with my pants down. 

Got enough to do for awhile just need to make a few changes.

Well spoken people can espouse ideas and concepts woven together from small bits of factual data.  However that doesn't make their end predictions any more accurate than myself or anyone else saying stuff.  I wish in my lifetime I had kept track of all of the end if the world or end of life as we know it predictions. Usually it is good for certain businesses and producers but overall no major changes.  I am more concerned with droughts, floods, and ice storms.  Although shortages of things like rainbow sherbet do cause me some concern.  Will there be rolling blackouts like the west coast has, maybe but what are any of us gonna do about it.  America needs to come to grips with the fact that we have to produce more power, and that it comes with a price.  There ain't no free lunches.

And equally importantly be able to distribute it reliably.  Which also comes with a price.  There's a BIG wind generator project around Greenfield with a high voltage transmission line heading straight to Joplin area.  And there are a lot of new wood poles lying in the ditches around here waiting for install.  It's the other half of the power cost equation.  Too bad so many miss that part of reality.  The country's utilities are working on it.  Sorry oneshot, it is not the end of the world as you know it.

I try to listen to people that know more than me but I did get the Vaccine and then was told by my Doctor that it was the worst thing I could have done. 

Was thinking about all this in past people turned from the Lord and then went many years rethinking their decision and the Lord took care of them.  No I don't believe this is the last days it's just a time that will be hard for many years and with faith will bring us out of it once again.

Sometimes you have to unplug yourself from all the garbage news that is out there.  Internet and otherwise.  Since retirement, our goal is to live a simple rural life, unwind, unplug (desktop PC is all we have).  I ditched the smartphone so long ago I cannot remember.  Sometimes I light kerosene lanterns, drink tea out of a 1930s mason jar.  Not as simple as the Amish, but not high tech either.

I quit watching the news a couple years ago but I admit i do enjoy reading conspiracy theories and goofy stuff I get a lot of amusement out of them.  Apparently even the Amish are out to get us.

What I got from the article was Power Plants going Green their not going to be able to keep up with demand so will have more outages and Brown Outs lasting for months. 

Winter there is going to be more demand for Fossil Fuel that won't be there.
