eggs....

watch the price soar for a dozen when bird flu is found in the states.

better have eggless recipes. or know where to rob turkey eggs. or maybe robins.

DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU ARE PRONE TO DEPRESSIVE FITS......

just a bundle of joy.

but really, i think i am a realist. survival of the fittest type thing? would have been much better off a few years back not exploring this peak oil thing as deeply as i did. the hours of tracking supply and measuring it against demand. and reading simmons or listening to puplava. or going to the local meetings about sustainability and coming away wondering how a few scattered families would ever be able to create a sustainable community amongst the twenty first century wave of self absorption caused by the pace of our lives.

as i watch people scatter and chase a dream that they are beginning to see fade away. without seeing the underlying truth we stumble on, making the same mistakes again and again.

a dream can have many possible endings. if only the dream can be seen clearly. by everyone. and then perhaps we could awaken from this nightmare.

but then i read things, like the professor in texas said. that a 90% reduction in the human population is the only answer and it must happen soon or no one will remain........

anyone read that one?

it is enough to drag ones consciousness into deep remorse if one we let ourself. that road is not challenging enough for my style so another path has been prepared to be journeyed down.

i have chosen to try something i had never fully considered. to commit to living as much as possible in a never ending cascade of the moment. from that perspective everything takes on a much greater appearance and takes on a shine or beauty that makes all the dark and dismal seem mundane and superficial.

it is also much easier to cope from that point of view for me.

i truly expect this year to be the big brother of last year.

if you know what i mean.

.......... about the gold and silver. buy on the dips. it will get volatile and allow time to fill up the safe. at least that is what i am hoping for.

and place all of your seed orders for the next three years within april.......... not enough seed out there.

not always so dark. please excuse me.
