Coming from the 50's something crowd, I continue to be amazed how technology has dumbed down younger Americans. We have fast everything these days, everything and anything is instantly at our finger tips. From the local mall to the INTERNET, if America wants it, it's only minutes away. Today we expect this as the daily norm, and indeed there are millions of young Americans that think this is the way it always was. However, we the over the hill gang know better.
All Americans want a better life for their kids than they had, but by achieving that goal, we have done them a massive injustice. Unwittingly we have taken away their ability to exist when the good times stop rolling. What would the children do if the power grid failed for a month, or oil was shut off for 6 months? Could they last long enough to ride out the storm? Sadly the answer is no.
In the few years we have left, it is incumbent upon our generation to dredge up the faint memories of a day gone by, to pass on the not so convenient ways of the past, to the generations of the future. The day may soon come, when we must look to the past to survive the future. I invite all readers to add any proven methods used in the past to deal with the obstacles of daily life.
It a nutshell you have the purpose of my blog. I will cover many issues in no particular order so please add my feed to your aggregater. If anyone has any pressing issues that have yet to be covered, please let me know. I will do my best to address them. Thanks to all for reading
