There's no crying in baseball

We prepared.

Pessimist's are good to have around,

we bring life preservers to the family boat ride.

I (we) never expected anything promised by the system to be there.

The current furloughed position is in itself proof enough of that theory.

Add to this experience, the failure of the New Mexico unemployment system,

my application, made the day i was furloughed is estimated to take 6 weeks to result in funds.

I hate being right.

I did my best to eliminate negative thinking.

I attempted to think and write only positives.

Is it my fault that positive is impossible?

This entire situation has only increased my paranoia,

my negative beliefs in the corruption of our society

and my belief in the overwhelming stupidity, cruelty and dominance of the 1%.

I am in the survivalist mode.

I am done being positive, 

I am done believing.

We are all on our own.

More to come.

Insanity attracts insanity.

A mother attempts to drive into the white house area and is killed for it.

A man burns himself to death in front of the washington monument.

Just received:

There were two gaps in our survival system.
Next week could easily bring about the collapse of our economic system.
With that collapse would come the end of money, gasoline, power...
We have solar panels producing enough energy to power lights and small appliances.
Large appliances such as a freezer require a generator. 
Based on the concept that it is better to have power, than money, today we purchased a 
Duro Star 4000 watt generator.

and

Two BaoFeng UV-5R Dual Band handheld ham radio's. 

I am much to learn about these radio's and how to operate them.

This is my next project.
