Hello @TAB @Oaktree @StuF @tonys
Have been trying to keep cool. It was too hot to walk. Instead have been organising my preparedness binder today and creating order with documentation. Got to get a folder to put it all in. Well its up to date. Getting new address book too. When new years comes around will organise a pushbike @TAB got to be able to get around places. Have been checking what to do in the event of financial collapse. Got cheque book out (yes they still exist) to pay for things at supermarkets with if ATMs go down and speaking to relevant commercial food outlets and finding out who the managers are if everything turns pearshaped.

My best friend makes all kinds of plans for preparedness in case the world as we know it crashes. I think she is a bit mad. I just smile and nod. People have been predicting the end of the world for thousands of years and it hasn’t happened yet. I am just going to keep planning for the future. No offense meant to anyone who believes otherwise.

Thats ok @Oaktree we do seem a bit of an odd bunch of people from onlookers that think we're eccentric but its based on what we believe. Australia has enjoyed prosperity since the world wars which has been a long way off so I have come to learn theres lots of normalcy bias in this country. I am nowhere near as prepared as some people but just do bit by bit. Our beliefs always determine our course of action and I never try to deny anyone their belief system.
