Not here for pointless arguments, and if you want that my method is block early and without regret.

Living the dream in the deep south Pacific. Probably lots of dog photos, beach and bush.

I swear, a lot.

I make a lot of typos.
We ran 6 days on solar and batteries last October, only essential stuff running of course.

Everytime I read one of these pieces I wonder why none of the writers ever ask "and what then?" When these goons are talking about mass job losses.

What will those people do, who will buy your products, how do you even have an economy?

They dont like the UBI answer.

Nice, I have a mountain to move from the under tree stack to the wood shed, but that can be a cooler day.

Kinda sad to be thinking about that in February, but we have a high of 13 on Monday and Tuesday.

Wood unloaded and loaded,now time to mow the lawns before the rain arrives.

Then I can rest.
(By rest i mean drink beer in my shed)
I have got to unload a trailer stacked with reclaimed timber and then load it with firewood to take to my kids place.

I foresee a hot bath in my evening.

Look Matt, the thing is, we just have to burn that gas as fast as possible so that it's all used up, then no one will be burning it and we will all be fine!

Its very hard to justify high electricity prices when all your fuel is free.

I know people say that time goes faster as you age but having 100 year storms every couple of weeks seems a bit much.
