number of problems natural and man-made. Whether that's entirely true or not
remains to be seen. And with the state of things, it seems it's only a
matter of time. I remember researching how many miles we'd be from nuclear
drift at one point but don't recall the answer. I guess if it comes to that,
I'll be having a glass and hugging my family.

I stay on this list because I think homesteading is an answer. I'm not
supplying all of my famiy's fruit and vegetables, far from it, but I'm
supplying some and it's a start. Ended up with 5 gallons of blueberries
picked just yesterday--many more to follow.

Your subject is an interesting thread to pursue.
