His long view doesn't include everyone, and there have been times when's he suggested collapse would happen very quickly. This usually appears when he's on other sites. He's went to far as to retract some of his comments. He is a professional writer who wants to sell books. There's no point for him to let "the cat out of the bag". None. John Greer, is another one, might as well start the story from the far future and work your way to the present, that way, you keep your readers looking for more....<BR/><BR/>If this is going to be a long emergency, then of course tractors will continue to play a vital part in the near future as they have in the recent past.<BR/><BR/>A few months back, I bought a diesel generator(which will run on bio-diesel), which may come in mighty handy. Especially when my farming neighbors will need it to water their crops if the power should become spotty... At least, that's what their telling me that's going to happen. Might as well be prepared...<BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-46161545441519133022008-04-09T08:29:00.000-07:002008-04-09T08:29:00.000-07:00Here's a new site for you: http://fightincockflyer...Here's a new site for you: <BR/>http://fightincockflyer.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>I didn't read through all of it yet, but it might be useful at times. <BR/><BR/>I am reading Kunstler's "A World Made By Hand".<BR/>Interesting, so far, but not the quality of dialog I expect from Kunstler. The lack of windmills and generators is also too obvious at this point, and I wish people would get over the fascination with horses for power when we can grow oilseeds to feed a small tractor only when you need it..Especially in a depopulated world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-52544718408580200882008-02-11T19:53:00.000-08:002008-02-11T19:53:00.000-08:00Thanks Far!

My message comes just too close, it hurts. Even my own folks didn't want to hear it, however they thought it only prudent to continue my education along this line. Enough to even move to another area for me to obtain more of it. I have to be careful around my wife, as she is incapable of understanding it.<BR/><BR/>Perhaps, the only way I was able to accept this message was that I was very young when I got it. Not that I didn't buck on it at the time! I wanted to live and experience what life had to offer! It's been a cross I've had to bear for almost 40 years.<BR/><BR/>I've lived a lot of life in those 40 years and have been the wiser from it. Although I'm certain collapse or decline will come, I certainly don't know when and am not waiting for it to happen.<BR/><BR/>Anyone who is actually looking foward to this, most certainly is not seeing the same picture that I'm viewing.........<BR/><BR/>I've been inviting people to the site and I know they've seen it. It's like a pin prick to the heart.......<BR/><BR/>Thanks Far, yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-1216618340215738092008-02-11T17:14:00.000-08:002008-02-11T17:14:00.000-08:00Yes, that is interesting.Sometimes, you need to le...Yes, that is interesting.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, you need to let the story tell itself — at its best, you're just transcribing an email from the Great Beyond. But sometimes (and this sounds like the case), you need to keep control and tell the story because you have a point you want to get across.<BR/><BR/>I saw you put yourself down at JMG's. Don't. You already know how to tell the story, and that's the important part. The writing skills will continue to develop if you continue writing.Larry Kollarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08317037795075278427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-70020246779536484922008-02-08T20:48:00.000-08:002008-02-08T20:48:00.000-08:00Perhaps, a point of interest here, the first part ...Perhaps, a point of interest here, the first part of this story was very hard for me to put across. I kept going down trails that would lead one to think this collapse might be controlled. I do have an alternate, first part. I have never thought of collapse as coming by a controlled matter. Furthermore, I despise such notions. However, I caught myself going down two of these trails, only to back up and find the trail I've presented here.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-56320140095407023162008-02-07T20:42:00.000-08:002008-02-07T20:42:00.000-08:00Thanks for the encouragement Far!

I've borrowed you're aspect of using yourself and family, like ou did in "FAR Future".<BR/>Rest assured, that will be it for the comedy, as this story is a heart breaker. A real tear jerker. At the end, there is a ray of sunshine for those who will only follow it. <BR/><BR/>Thanks, yooperyooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297259993402713368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3664872774352256800.post-28473963846686815732008-02-07T19:07:00.000-08:002008-02-07T19:07:00.000-08:00Heh, nice touch there at the end — hurricane whack...Heh, nice touch there at the end — hurricane whacks Atlanta, the entire grid goes down, the prez speaks to what bits of the nation can tune in — then they go back to the sitcom.
