BEING BACK IN THE UNITED STATES

 

Above are some pictures of the new place. I'm focusing on furniture that
has lots of built-in storage, since the place is small. I was able to
furnish the whole place through Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I
got some absolute steals. The most expensive thing I bought was the
couch for $200 - everything else was in the $50 and under range.

I spent a lot of time driving picking things up but nothing puts me in a
good more than loud music and wind in my hair.

Let me start by thanking you for your condolences, good wishes, kind
words, and prayers regarding the shocking loss of our family member to
Covid. They meant so much to all of us that so many of you that I've
never met would send such a wonderful outpouring of love. I said,
"That's just who my readers are - they're genuinely good, kind people."

~~~~

A lot happened in the US over the year I was gone. People have changed
dramatically. Not everyone, and not all for the worst, but things are so
different now.

It's hard for me to fathom how complete strangers bring up Trump at the
grocery store in a scathing tone, irritating another stranger who
retorts with a comeback about Biden. I was at the Harris Teeter the
other day and could hardly believe my ears as people argued over why
cantaloupes were expensive. Neither argument was really sensible but the
hostility was tangible. I felt sorry for the young woman at the checkout
stand and wondered how many of these altercations she had witnessed over
the past year.

Then there's the mask vs. no mask debate, which I wrote ages ago (May
2020 ) was a
sign of tribalism just as certainly as a specific color of bandana in a
specific neighborhood. It saddens me to see people skittering around,
fearfully avoiding much-needed human interaction.

At the same time, I see the beauty of Americans pulling together to make
connections with one another that have nothing to do with politics,
presidents, and pandemics. That's the America I remember and love
passionately.

Now more than ever, we have to be strong and stand up to this fear-based
brainwashing, the silencing of dissent, and the persecution based on
political beliefs. I don't care if it's a person you don't like being
persecuted. If you stand by silently and do nothing, or worse, cheer it
on, the tides will turn one day and the precedent will be set. Then you
could be the one being persecuted.

This being said, I'm fighting the political defunding of my website
tooth and toenail. I guess I found the hill I'm willing to die on and
it's the First Amendment.

Your support, your kind letters, your funny cards - I cannot tell you
how much they brighten my days. It's you who give me the resilience to
keep up the fight.

If we don't dissent now, it could be too late to dissent later. Be
brave. Be strong. Stand up for what you believe in and focus on reason
and justice.

Don't stoop to the level of the people persecuting the dissenters.
Remember, we are better than that.

 

WHAT I'VE BEEN READING THIS WEEK

I'll be honest - I had waaay less time to read this week because I've
been trying to get organized and unpacked. I have trouble concentrating
in chaos and I have a new book in my head that I want to write. But a
few articles in particular caught my eye.

* Pegasus: A cyber-scientist explains how the zero-click spyware can
hack phones with a single unanswered call

(Mildly terrifying)

* Mudslides force more than 100 to spend night on highway

(This happened in Colorado - would you be prepared for this situation?)

* Countdown To The Next Lockdown: Biden Says "In All Probability" US
Will See More Restrictions

(Surprise, surprise.)

* Have The Social Media Companies Become Way Too Powerful?

(Um, YEAH. It seems like antitrust out the wazoo to me.)

* The Battle of the Censors
( The censors
and now fighting with the other censors)

* The Lost Art of Paying Close Attention to Your Situation

(A great reminder for preppers)

* 10 Ways to Combat Inflation at the Grocery Store

( Erica always has awesome, frugal advice)

Have you wanted to take one of Selco's courses but weren't sure which
one to choose? Now you don't have to pick. This week only, Buy One
Course, Get One FREE.

These are Selco's cornerstone offerings.

In One Year in Hell< Selco shares what he learned during his time living
in a city under siege. He lived with no power, no running water, and no
supplies under horrific conditions.  Selco survived snipers and mortar
fire for a year and this is the first course he created to bring those
conditions to life in order to help us survive.

In SHTF Survival Bootcamp, Selco teaches the basics of both urban and
wilderness survival. He tells you the things he wishes he knew before
the SHTF for him, as well as how you can best prepare for a
life-altering scenario like the one he endured. Learn about survival
from someone who actually lived it, not from those who just know about
it in theory.

THIS WEEK ONLY, GET BOTH COURSES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
.
This sale ends on Saturday, August 7th.

WHERE I GET ORGANIC FOOD CHEAP

After eating farm-fresh, healthfully grown food for the past year and
feeling great, I didn't want to slip into bad habits when I returned to
the US. But the price of organic produce, meat, and staples is simply
out of control.

I started shopping online with Misfit Market
and I
absolutely love it. If you tried it in the past and it didn't work out,
there are some changes you should know about. No longer do they just
ship you a parcel of whatever happens to be in season. You go onto their
website and select exactly what you want. You can skip a week any time
you want and you are not locked into anything. Go check it out using
this link and
save $10 off the price of your order.

I get produce, meat, and a variety of pantry supplies on a weekly basis
delivered to my door. Their minimum order is only $30 and the prices are
comparable to Aldi's (but in many cases the quality appears to me to be
superior.)

If you use this link
to sign up,
you'll get $10 bucks off your first order. Try it out and let me know
what you think!

WHAT I DID TO PREP THIS WEEK

After several years of being on the move, it's been pretty cool to pull
my old belongings out of the storage unit and use them again. I'm slowly
but surely getting my beloved books on shelves, filling the walls with
art, and settling in.

My apartment is small so there's not room for everything but I'm finding
comfort and happiness in things like family photos and mementos from my
travels. And of course, my favorite books.

As far as stocking up on food is concerned, I decided to hit The
Bunker  - ahem - the climate and humidity-controlled storage unit - and
bring over the food from there. My daughter has used some of it this
year to supplement her grocery budget, but after opening a box of
crackers and finding them slightly stale, I decided we need to eat that
food now and our purchases should go to replenishing the storage unit.

Nearly everything seems to still good aside from that ill-fated box of
crackers, so I brought a load of food over this past week and will
finish stuffing my pantries during the week ahead. When combined with my
Misfit Market fresh foods, I feel pretty good about my stockpile. By the
end of the week, I'll easily have enough food for six months and can
focus my energy on water storage for my apartment, as well as a
catchment system I can put on my patio in the event of an emergency.
Once water is sorted, grocery money will go toward refilling the shelves
of The Bunker the storage unit.
