RE: Guilty Pleasures- Homestead style!
I don't live on the land like you folks. Just out in the country a bit. The property I now am on was overgrown with weeds. My favorite tool is now the weed whacker.
But on a different note: I was thinking the other day how absolutely devastating it would be for all of us "moderns" if the power grid went down...permanently. I wonder how many would jump off of the nearest bridge because they no longer have cell phones. Millions I imagine.
I got a weed whacker this year!! Lucy! She eats everything! Even the trees! Lol
I was just having this same conversation with a very good friend of mine yesterday. In the summer they will die from heat stroke.. no air conditioning and winter.. freeze to death no heat. And starve to death with no water. It's kind of scary in a way.
Very scary... Many folks half joke we are the disaster plan!
Indeed! US congressional hearings estimated that if we were hit with a major X class solar flare, or with an EMP that 90% of the US population would perish within the first 12 months. And 90% of those deaths would occur within the first 2 months. Grim. Weather would be a big factor but even if it was nice moderate weather the biggest problems would be food, water, waste, disease and violence, in that order. Of course those dependent upon meds would be the first to go. But the biggest concern would be that I could no longer comment on posts and there would be great suffering throughout the world.
Hopefully we will all be telepathic by then!! Teleportation would be nice too! :)
