long forgotten

 Omgosh...on the interrnet news page I follow (because it has the less pop up ads, and easiest format to read,  I saw article after article about "nuclear war" risks...

cities in the US to be stroke by nuclear bombs, states in US with Nuclear facilities, etc...

countries that would not be safe...

what you should have on hand if internet and power grids go down..

foods to keep stocked in case of distribution problems

and the list went on and on....

Never in my 62 yrs of life, have I ever read so many "doomsday" articles as I have been reading since the start of the Ukraine war...

Is this how the world as we know it will end?  Will WW3 be in my lifetime?

What happens to our children and future generations?  Will there ever be a future generation?

I have been taking precautionary steps to prep for some of this:  I am getting a solar powered charger.

I have stocking up on batteries, canned goods, salt, sugar and flour.  I am paying off all my bills so I have no debt.   I am making sure my firearms are in working order and getting supplies for them.

I am doing little things to protect myself...I wish Kevin would do the same....

I am also stocking up on dog food, and dog meds, as well as meds for me, first aide kits, I have walkie talkies already...

I feel like it is better to be prepared and not need to be, than need to be prepared and have nothing....

The situation in this world is getting worse and worse, especially since the Russia/Ukraine war, and the upcoming Trump administration....our military forces and storage will be compromised under him just like what is happening with Biden...this scares the fuck out of me.

Even countries like Sweden and Finland are sending all their residents little "pamplets or books" on how to prepare for an invasion...prepping they will need...fuck!

You know, I have lived a long life, so at 62, if US goes to war with Russia and China and North Korea,  I may suffer hardship or even death, but that is okay.  I have lived my life...but my kids and grandkids and all the other generations will be so deeply affected and scarred and many many many of them will die too soon...

I guess lessons learned from Nagasaki and Hiroshima have long been forgotten...sigh

Reading the news is a two edged sword.  So much is depressing and the doomsday politics and national security issues tops the list...but we still need the news for weather and local stuff, so it is almost fucking impossible to take a break from news, social media and the like...I like to be informed, yet I hate the fear and shit these outlets present....

So not sure where to go from here...I guess no where.

 You know, as much as I complain about being lonely and isolated,  I enjoy my solitude so much.  I enjoy being able to get away to my own sp...
