So no links today, same old same old.  But I was reading some stuff and had some thoughts.  I do not write up much stuff, because you all know how to google, and I don’t like repeating others work, just referencing it.

But I do have one tip.  Utilities.  You REALLY should be aware of where they come from; heat, water, gas, electricity.  even if you don’t manage them.   Should the need arise, you should know where they are and their basic operations so you can turn them on or off in an emergency.

Also, I do not consider a lot of things that don’t directly effect me, like utilities.  I would love some suggestions on things you are interested in.  Is there something you would like a researched answer to?  go ahead and ask, and I will see what I can come up with.

Here is a Medcial supply link, I thought the stuff was pretty good, keeping it high on my list

Here is a new post special to Apartment Dwellers. Some special notes though.  The idea that their food plans will last very long or be enough to suffice may be exaggerated and reliant on electricity and other utilities, use at you own risk.  I continue to support the idea that you should stay in your apartment/condo ONLY as long a it is safe.  As soon as you realize the situation may become long term, and the golden Horde has moved on, then you should retreat to your community or prearranged location.  Don’t have one yet?  GET ONE!  There are community’s that will take you, if you talk to them IN ADVANCE.
