Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeIn the chaos that is the collapse of the United States, we feel the pressure to prepare for the coming recession. We are limited in time, and money, and space. I want to be growing food but don’t have a greenhouse. I want to be ready to taken in people into my home but we are out of space. I want to be able to have potable water on hand, and generate my own power, and have plenty of food in storage but I don’t have the means.
I will do what I can with what little I have. I will be calculating in my planning. We will survive.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeWhen I was a child, I never understood why my father took vacations to work. Now, as an adult, I want nothing more than to take a vacation just to catch up.

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily Life“It’s said that ‘power corrupts,’ but actually it’s more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power. When they do act, they think of it as service, which has limits. The tyrant, though, seeks mastery, for which he is insatiable, implacable.”

Posted by Doug McCaughan in : Daily LifeAh! Nothing begins a Monday quite like fraudulent charges and canceling the credit card with the number you really liked that happened to have every subscription and recurring charges attached to it. This will be a good way to cancel some unnecessary subscriptions.
