Glad to have moved out of the big city (San Jose) and into the foothills of the Sierras two years ago. Although downplayed by the media, I watched on-line videos of the riot last week, and wonder to myself if all this flap is over a political disagreement, what will happen if the food tap dries up? We have two Dollar General stores, a Grocery outlet as well. We stock up on canned foods to maintain at least a couple months worth of food for ourselves and some for our neighbors. Two grills, one gas and one charcoal, bottled water, flashlights and batteries. One of two vehicles always gassed up full. Worse comes to worse, we are surrounded by edible wildlife...hope it doesn't come to that. Extensive camping equipment helps out as well. Think Earthquake preparedness, to the power of ten. Read today that George Soros, the currency manipulator, is plunging into the gold market...he is evil, but not stupid. He has been quite successful in predicting recessions.
