... pantry with food - six months easy, including if we have to feed a couple of neighbors. We bought two new cars cash out.

I've run the property and looking looking for foraging food, (I do not mess with mushrooms, I know I don't know enough and I will not go Dunning Kruger on them), I know what Hemlock is and there is some in the yard, and hog weed is - so I stay away from anything that looks like Queen Anne's Lace. We have prickly pear and safe greens that can be used as salads or cooked greens.

We are not holding any firearms, though we've both been through military courses on firearm handling. It's tempting, we live in a MAGAcentric area. I fear the local cesars and miltias than I do the national ones.

Have several ozs of pot in vacuum seal. We're as ready as being over 75 allows.
