[Javaman]

Warm. No rain for 6 weeks. Things getting worrisome.

Not much good news to write.

My heart broke for Connie this past week. She had an old ceramic bunny that her daughter gave her when she was in kindergarten, it broke. No way to fix it. :( No one had any glue. None to get. I made
a small wooden box and lined it with some yellow velvet, that Mrs. Freeds had and put the ceramic remains in there. Connie now keeps that on the dresser. It's the little things like that that put a fine point on how things have changed.

Things are not going well in the neighborhood. We have had to institute patrols around the fields. There have been several incidents just south of us where a few farms were burned.

The military sniffs around, then leaves and we never hear another thing.

Dave (Mr. Albert), has been an incredible sort of info with his shortwave. We've had to move it several times to keep the military from finding it.

It's official. San Antonio is under Marshal law. There were a series of bombings there over the past year.

Still nothing out of Alaska.

Cholera and dysentery are pretty rampant through out the east coast. Dengue fever seems to be taking quite toll as well along the Mexican border.

Apparently, the Golden Gate bridge has been closed to any and all traffic, military included, now for at least 6 months.

It seems so weird being out of the loop this way. The "internet" is so censored now it's nothing more than "happy news" from Washington.

Something happened in Denver but we aren't able to get any info.

Sometimes it's just so hard to keep going. I think about my parents during the great depression. At least there was some sort of central government then to speak of. Other than the bizarre reports of things "going well" out of DC, we are all pretty much on our own.

I have to wonder if there will be an election next year?

I'm just feeling down. Perhaps knowing what's going on on the outside is not necessarily a good thing.

Life goes on. Times up.

1. And some will say - It can't happen here

To which I always respond, "thanks to attitudes like that it already is."

[TheWraith]

2. DU could do well with a de-recommend feature.

Put it in the fiction forum where it belongs.

[GliderGuider]

3. At least this is honest about being fiction

Unlike, say, a CERA press release...

[RaleighNCDUer]

4. Not fiction - prognostication.

Much like saying Hillary is inevitable.

[Systematic Chaos]

5. Try this one on for size:

If you don't like it don't READ it.
