Thanks for the link.
Not good,not good at all.
Dig out the lawns,set up a greenhouse like I did.
I posted a link way back on greenhouse geothermal heat.
Stock up on firewood NOW.Fill the garage,to the top.Fill half the yard if you can.You can always barter it for whatever you need.
Oh,btw,

Great ideas guys! Thanks. I'll work on it. I saw the Optima batteries at Sam's Club. Think I'll shop EBay for some small solar panels, too, and go see a couple coin dealers, too, about junk silver.

There have been several threads started about food riots throughout the world. Now, the first news reports that there are rice shortages in the US starting to "pop up" at local grocers.

Check out this forum started on US food shortages.

PO topic on U.S. Food Shortages

One of the pieces of advice given on this thread was to buy food with your gov't hand out when it arrives. Still good advice!

Here's an excerpt from an old book on buying and storing goods and food as inflation protection. I thought it could be useful to beginners here, and has some thoughts for all of uswith regard to financial meltdown.

Alpha Strategy

The website is full of essays with money advice, mostly a "hard money" outlook, FWIW.

edit: Many thanks to Seahorse for the headsup by starting this thread!
