Although our washer and dryer are still operating, the time has come to begin hanging the wash out to dry. Our property came with the posts where a clothesline had been used by the prior owners. It seemed only logical to stock up on a few well woven synthetic lines and a few hundred clothespins last year. How difficult can it be to hang wet clothes out to dry on non-rainy days?

For the zillionth time in the past two years, simplicity handed me my hat and pointed me towards the door. Indeed, the more I know the more I find I do not know. Thank you sincerely to all the bloggers and YouTubers who took the time to put together instructions and amusing stories for us modern city folk who cannot make a string, a wood clip and a shirt work together.

Nowhere have I witnessed a normalcy bias so strong as when it pertains to food. It has always been available at the grocery stores and in restaurants; at least that is the view of most people alive today. And if one falls on hard times, then the government in this country (the US) will probably supply you with an Electronic Benefit Transfer allowance (food stamps) and perhaps direct you to local food banks and/or co-ops to supplement your cupboards.

We take for granted that these operations are a given, for this is the way it has always worked.....or so we believe. So much goes into ensuring that an efficient journey occurs from the factory to our dinner table. Food supply has become extremely technical and reliant on industrial computers similar to those found at www.cksglobal.net. These machines are fantastic but they can't do it on their own, as many hungry Americans already know. While I welcome more and more of my fellow Westerners becoming aware of food reality, I cringe to think it will hit them where it hurts the hardest. It is not in the wallet, but in their bellies.
