My prepper tendencies

posted in environment, technology |

According to the weather forecast, another storm is on my doorstep. I’ve already made the obligatory run for food (much to the amusement of my kitchen partners). They don’t know the risks! Due to my excellent care and attention, my family has never faced a three day wait for someone to wade through the head-high drifts to purchase fried chicken!

I jest, barely. The two sacks of rice (another amusing item in my inventory) are there “in case”. In the next house, I intend to prepare for isolation (although the 12km circle of no retail already makes that necessary. Not going “prepper”, just being prepared. Just the possibility of  gut growling hunger…

The freezer in the basement should come along, now that I reconsider things.

Meanwhile, after several short but effective power naps, I’m ready to face a Superbowl without the Packers. Here’s the thing; I left to get groceries, with just over a minute on the game clock. A win in the bag. And then, something went terribly wrong (in my absence, so I may or may not be to blame) Now the Green and Gold will have to wait for another year. Gives me time to purchase a jersey that fits me.

The Incredible Eton Musk has come up with Another Fantastic Idea. He believes that he can provide an Internet link to eventual Mars colonies. Could he contact the local phone company and get similar coverage here on Planet Earth (at least in the rural parts that interest me)? Please?
