That inner panic button….
The closing of Frank and Fern’s blog, it seems, is causing a ripple effect. I’ve received several emails (not to mention numerous blog post comments) in which people are confessing — well, concerns.
I received permission to anonymously post one reader’s email to me:
I was really surprised to see Frank and Fern pull the plug. I have always enjoyed their blog and have several side conversations regarding goats with them also. I just finished re reading the Patriots by james w rawles and I must say the reality of that book becoming real came crashing down on my head. I guess it was overload from this week’s dismal economic state, the Patriots, and Frank and Fern pulling the plug to finish projects and such. I felt the 1st tendrils of fear, which I do not like, and spent quite some time discussing the situation with God. I guess I should mellow out by week’s end, hopefully. I hope we are all worrying for nothing but I trust my inner panic button, which is signaling trouble.
Along these lines, let me show you what I’ve been doing this past week. I made two enormous batches of chili…
…which I then canned.
I’ve also been canning pinto beans, which I use to make quick refried beans.
I’ve noticed something about myself: I can when I’m nervous. I’ve been very nervous this week. Stock markets all over the world are tanking, oil is plunging, and, well, it makes me nervous.
Frank and Fern’s parting advice included the following: “We encourage you to apply the final touches to your preparations. The events unfolding in the world appear to be creating the perfect storm. How that storm will come crashing down around us, we do not know, but it is no longer way out there on the horizon, it is at the door. The wind is blowing in our faces, bringing with it the still small voice of warning which gets louder everyday. Time is short, get everything accomplished that is in your power.”
They’re right, folks. Time to get busy.
