I'm so sorry to read this about your hometown sawmill, coug. I hope it will re-open as they plan. It's these so-called temporary closings that are so worrisome...like a frog in slowly boiling water. And you're right, we do have to help each other. seems to me a little convivial talk about food is a hell of a lot more helpful in grim times than bitter harping.

It's grim out there, we have to help each other.. had a neighbor (retired and recently moved to neighborhood) come to the door the other day with a questionaire to fill out for the association....asks questions about special skills (plumbing, electrical, carpentry, etc) how many days water are stored, how much food stored, etc....he made it a point that this wasn't related to LDS (this is s. utah) and he is from S. CA...so i asked him why now, and he gave me some nonsense about preparedness for earthquakes....then i said, 'aren't you a bit more concerned about civil unrest?' considering what is going on in the economic landscape? that's when he opened up and said yes, but also said he considered this to be one of the safer places should that event happen (to which i agreed) get to know your neighbors if you don't already
