I agree, FF's posts have added a new level of expertise to TOD.

But as someone asked the other day, you seem to think things are even worse than we can conclude here...how bad?

I believe he is referring to Stuart's excellent "Water in the Tank."

"I agree, FF's posts have added a new level of expertise to TOD."

And a new level of fear. If Saudi production is collapsing NOW, well it just sucks. I can't think of a nicer way to express it. I'm not ready and I like my computer room, my internet, my video games. I like being able to go the grocery store and buy what want at a moments notice. In a short time all this will be gone. 5 more years would have been nice. Now, instead of buying that new top of the line computer, I'll be buying a crossbow, a bicycle, and a fishing pole. I'll be out in the yard hoeing. Actually, I was looking at a nice rifle with a scope the other day. I no doubt will need to buy something smaller for home defense as well. Now I'll have to spend all my time hunting and fishing and farming(below ground stuff so it will be less likely to be stolen). Many people might think this sounds pretty nice, but I wanted to spend the last part of my life sitting in front of my computer playing games and being a potato not growing them.

I was hoping that growing potatoes instead of just eating them would keep me from looking like a potato. Hasn't worked so far.

Boy I agree, I like my life just as it is. I can do fine living a simpler life but the fear of what others might/will do keeps me awake at night. Being in the nations #1 best place to survive means too many people will be forced to move here and we will fight like cats in a sack.
First WT, then Khebab, and now this guy FF. Don't get me wrong I really really value the time and effort that all of the people contribute. But damn it! This is very frightening.
I feel like I'm that lady in the terminator movie who see's the future...and it isn't pretty and everyone thinks you are nuts. I keep telling myself to have strength in my convictions.

"I like my computer room, my internet, my video games. I"

I've posted it a few times here. Read the lyrics of the Talking Heads song "Nothing But Flowers"

http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Nothing-But-Flowers-lyrics-Talkin...

This was a Pizza Hut
Now it's all covered with daisies
you got it, you got it

I miss the honky tonks,
Dairy Queens, and 7-Elevens
you got it, you got it

...

We used to microwave
Now we just eat nuts and berries
you got it, you got it

This was a discount store,
Now it's turned into a cornfield
you got it, you got it

Don't leave me stranded here
I can't get used to this lifestyle

John
