And then it helped that minions had something to say. So we are looking at a horse and cart problem. Do I need to post daily, or do minions HELP me post daily? Looked at as a social gathering, sure. But looked at as anything else, such as a source of information? And even if I just stayed for the tribal aspect, how long before so few of us were left, I become a target? Or, more simply, too many paying minions fell out as casualties?

I have read you for 5 years and I am deeply going to miss the daily blog but am very happy that you are willing to keep up the writing for your followers on a monthly distribution. Count me in, I will pay for whatever you want to share. I have seen several blog sites bite the dust in the past 6 months especially prepper sites. It is going to get very hard to find good advice in this crazy world. Good thing I cut and paste many articles/blogs as that may soon be all we have is what we remember and what we retain in print. Your commenters are some of the best there are. Best Wishes to you in all your endeavors. YOU MADE A BIG DIFFERENCE in many lives!

I was up at 4:30-the NOL and I get one day a week to cuddle for a half hour after waking ( I exercise the other six and must get done before the heat ) and that was nicer than a sunrise. I think unplugging will help even more enjoying the small things.

The Internet, especially social media (which I don't use) have gone full retard (oops, that's not PC!).<br /><br />If I could ditch the smartphone, I would in an instant. I mainly use it as a tool for self education, researching purchases, etc. But, far too many peeps are addicted to it (alas, the wife included). I was a teen in the '80s, so grew up without smartphones. I feel sorry for today's yoots. I get all nostalgic when I see a (nonworking) pay phone.<br /><br />I learned to type on an actual typewriter. I hate *trying* to type on a smartphone, with its teeny buttons, and I'm too stubborn and set in my same-old fart ways to learn voice-recognition typing/texting on a smartphone.<br /><br />As my former manager and I used to say, our nation and society are devolving, not evolving, in spite of technology.<br /><br />I wish you best of luck, and think you are doing the right thing. I think it would be fun to follow you via USPS.<br /><br />-KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2686829448547770092.post-49925275060542578742020-06-13T03:00:03.485-07:002020-06-13T03:00:03.485-07:00Jim,
