In the old days, we kept a Canary in a cage, in the mine. Canaries sing and won't ever stop... until they die. The dead Canary in the coal mine was the alarm to get out. It seems the explosive gas that killed the Canary should be what we mine and use for energy, not the "dirty coal".<br /><br />Just a simple idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387053284149226571.post-45836685292127179902010-10-03T11:56:21.208-04:002010-10-03T11:56:21.208-04:00Peak oil is now a theory and will eventually be a ...Peak oil is now a theory and will eventually be a myth again until it pops up again in 35-40 years.

Let's stay on topic here. What I wanted to know is when...I know that things have changed dramatically. I was just hired at a new job in 2008 and one week after training, they let us all go. The phones did not ring! I worked at Caremark, here in Phoenix. They are a prescription benefits provider. Not as big as Medco. I worked there in Las Vegas, too, but, they should have been busy. We were stumped!!! This had never happened before. I decided to get my surgeries out of the way and get out of the wheelchair that I was in. Did that, am walking. Recovery takes time. I am going back to college. I get money for going, too. Sure, I have to pay it back later. But, there are benefits to going back to work for the government. Don't know if I want to. It feels like welfare, mostly. In Phoenix, there are no tent cities, but the Mexicans have left and gone back to Mexico. Rent is really cheap here. Colleges have low tuitions. Good all around in this regard. My son is back in college, too. This next year, I want to buy a truck that is in good condition and used with a camper shell on it. I want to be able to be free and move about as needed. I was living in Las Vegas, and told my son we had to get out of there, a big crash was coming. I did not want to be there when the bottom hit. Down-and-outers are dangerous. Vegas is not where you want to be when the chips are down. Desperate people do desperate things. So, we moved here to Phoenix. Busniesses are just closing up, like everywhere else. Marie Callendar's, a fine restaurant, used to be on the corner of our block. It closed several weeks ago! I was shocked!!! That is like Betty Crocker going out of business. <br /><br />Wonder if there are any people here in Phoenix that want to form a survival group? We can get together and share ideas for resources. Maybe we should start a chapter in each city. Just information for people. Networking, ya know?<br /><br />I do think that it is going to be slow. If it goes fast, they will blame Obama, so he wants to make it go slow and happen on someone else's watch. Bush dropped this in his lap, and I thought it was a political move to ruin Obama's residency. Well, Obama did that for himself. And, I think the kids in college that voted for him have woke up. The sentiments are turned against Obama. <br /><br />I lost my home before 2008 and it took me a long time to get over the bitterness of losing it. All the memories and items that are gone took their toll on me as well. I am a great deal more compassionate to people who have lost theirs. I am also shocked to see people with money, real money, lose stuff, too. <br /><br />I guess living as if we are already there is the best thing to do. When it gets here, it will find us ready and not surprised. Perhaps, it is just going to get daily worse. On the regular news, they are talking about getting into gold. Can you believe that? Everything that we have been reading for years on this blog, they are now talking about, and as if they were the ones who became aware of it first! <br /><br />I am disabled, my son is disabled, and we live in the city. I don't think that we are going anywhere. We have relatives and wonderful neighbors in northern Arizona, where we used to live. I would go back there if anarchy broke out. I don't think that will happen until there is an austerity program slapped on Medicare and Food Stamps. Now, the government won't be a part of that Austeriey program. I used to work for the gov and now about too many ways that they spend money. They will keep it going for themselves, but not for the others. That is when the Shit will hit the fan. That is when there will be shot-guns coming out of the closets and marches that will be revolutionary. I guess that is what people are getting ready for here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387053284149226571.post-12466359463070532082010-10-03T10:06:20.385-04:002010-10-03T10:06:20.385-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5387053284149226571.post-3523708781508304462010-10-03T09:41:03.652-04:002010-10-03T09:41:03.652-04:004:51 What will you have to LIVE THROUGH before you...4:51 What will you have to LIVE THROUGH before you are saved?
