Extreme Weather and Food Resilience for Home Growers

One of my pet peeves is not being able to find articles about self sufficiency without first reading what the author "believes" is really happening with politics or science necessitating these steps.

While I have strong opinions about the causes of changing weather and the need to grow some or all of our own food and medicine, it is not my purpose to sell you, the reader, on my views. I simply want to encourage and perhaps even inspire others to take steps to provide for themselves in a more direct manner. Trust me, if a city princess like me can convert to a dirt digging, tree climbing mountain dweller, anyone can.

Please forgive the opinions about the scientific causes and conclusions reached in this report prepared for the government. Permit yourself to sift through an otherwise informative work with some wonderful recommendations regarding growing food during these changing times.

A Brief Guide to Recreational Time Travel

There is little argument that we are living during a time of enormous change. Perhaps this rate of change has always been with us but circumstances and programming allowed us the luxury of focusing on those things that last. We have learned to value that which is dependable and will stand the test of time, contrary to 'change'.

How can we find sanity when the facets of life which seemed to be fixed end up being variable? The processes, the rules and even the set-in-stone laws are changing and indeed much of the time it doesn't seem fair. How do we cope, move forward and even thrive?

David Cain presents an upbeat look at approaching change and incorporating it into a healthy perspective. For more, please read: A Brief Guide to Recreational Time Travel.

Unexpected Ways the Inflated Ego Enslaves, Dominates, and Fools You

Living a rather isolated life on a quasi remote mountain, two alpha personalities from the Zero Hedge arena can easily crash into the other one's massive ego. It can be a delicate operation because we both admit we have big fat egos in play, thus implying we have our own behavior well in hand lol.

Indeed perhaps the biggest trick the devil ever played was convincing us we could "control" and set aside our egos.
