MORE SURVIVAL

After writing all that about survival I went to check our reserve bottled water.

All of the 'disasters' that the survivalist writes about 'require' about three months of supplies on hand.

We have about 40 gallons--what? Ten days? I wish.

It is all outdated.

I once looked into a survival ration thing. What I found out was that most of it would have to be replaced at least on a two year cycle if not faster. Even the freeze dried food. Which takes, you got it, water!

Someone said you could survive on Power Bars. I went and looked at those.

I would have to recycle them every two months. That's how they are shelf dated.

Throw them away or eat them.

No eating. I would weigh 500 pounds.

So, I will replace the water two gallons at a time from the super market.

I do think that is important.

You can live on cereal and canned goods in the house for a couple of weeks but water? No way.

Forty gallons out to be enough, I would say.

Even the way Franklin drinks. He walks away and there is a waterfall coming out of his mouth.

How did I get on this anyway?
