A Bit Of A Break From The Mural

MARCH 28th, 2011. OOPS! No one picture from my camera today. The batteries were completely dead. I take new pictures tomorrow and post them. My day was a little shorter than normal too. I stopped by the LDS FOOD STORAGE CANNERY and purchased 100 5.5lb #10 cans of red wheat. Next week, I plan to buy some other grains. Can't be too sure of the economy's future and the nation's future for that matter. Don't get me wrong, I do love America, but it seems sinister things are going on in our nation's government and around the world. And my state, Utah, along with at least thirteen other states, are considering legislation to allow gold and silver coinage as legal tender so they don't go broke. When Obama said to do nothing in preparation for radioactive fallout after the Japanese disaster, I determined to still prepare emergency supplies. I know that to panic is unwise, but better be prepared for any worse case a scenario than caught with your pants down. What would happen if Utah or your own area is hit by an earthquake of Japan-like magnitude. Are you prepared to survive it? Or perhaps a flood? When I was 17, I witnessed the Teton Dam Disaster, as a monstrous wall of water devastated my community. My parents had built up our two year supply of food as our church had recommended, but we did loose most of it in the flood. The important thing was, we developed a habit of building an emergency store of food in case emergency strikes. My parents had passed that habit on to my siblings and I. Isn't it better be prepared for what if, than not?

We need to get back to the direction our Founding Fathers intended. To say that our Constitution is an outdated document is foolishness. We need to support and uphold the Constitution now more than ever. What if the US dollar collapsed. I see that as a possibility on the horizon. If so, soon there would be no food in the stores. What if the economy brought on massive unemployment and you were swept up in it? Isn't it wise to have a store of food in these times? Don't be like the fiddling Grasshopper who danced and played his fiddle all summer long instead of storing for the future like his neighbors, an ant colony. When winter came and the grasshopper got hungry, he realized that spending his time entertaining himself, instead of storing food was a foolish idea. His songs were no longer cheerful songs.
