I'm not so much worried about Babs and me. I've lived half my life, I've no kids and most of my dear friends are scattered around the country. Some of the few who live nearby are already preparing for post peak oil and the others, well I'll just continue to take it one day at a time.

I have concerns for my co-workers with young children. I'd rather they stop planning for the future as saving enough money for the next trip to Disney and start planning the future about how their family will survive. I don't waste my breath on them, most think this "will get better" and pull out more plastic to pay for gas. By the time they awaken it will be too late.

Some families around the planet are
preparing and I will continue to do the little that I do.
