Thats what I have. My other driver is a V10 Excursion so I am getting around 9 to 10 in town.

I have to drive to Cincinnati 3 times this week and Indy this weekend. Looks like I may to take out a home equity loan.

I have been wanting a truck for a while, but it is surprising how much you can fit in a '98 Honda accord with the manual. Also, I can get 32 when driving from Indy to Terre Haute

What a Accord wouldn't do, is tow a Coleman pop-up or a backhoe from Indy to Smelly Haute.

Oh definitely. I have needed to borrow a truck to tow a forklift. There is a lot to be said for a V8, but I don't need it on the daily. I have an infiniti SUV that can tow a bit, but it really isn't a truck, and i'm looking to get out of it. Better to have bad fuel economy and massive utility rather than mediocre both.

I bought a little 4 door Accord, manual after my 1st divorce, great little car.

But nearly 20 years ago I was hit by a drunk driver right in the drivers side door. . . . not in the Honda. She was doing about 40 they were guessing. Since then I told myself only big vehicles for my daily drivers. Since then my smallest daily has been a Yukon.

G-d has blessed me. All my accidents have been nose on or tail on so far. I would like a truck, and gas bills are cheaper than medical bills.

Carbs are easy to store. rice/flour can last years in properly sealed dry storage. Never tried freezing it. If you don't have chickens/rabbits, what is the easiest source of protein to store? canned tuna?

ANY of the pre cooked potted meats, spam, chicken, tuna, etc.

Been using the foil packed meats. I can rotate my supply by using them when backpacking.

Pretty big deal...

bw beat me by a few minutes.


No more drilling.
No more digging.


Why are energy prices so high?

Rice and beans are said to form a complete protein. Each lack some specific amino acids. But when overlapped each fills in the gaps of the other. And each is very easy to store long-term.

Bestest thing they ever did with spam.
Now they need to add the other flavors to the foil line.

Yes they do, they make up over half of my stored food for preps, along with lots of canned meats, veggies, and fruits. Also want to stock up on seeds, salt, and vinegar for preserving foods incase any shortages last longer than your food supply.

That explains it all pretty well! The biggest problem we face is that it isn't happening because of stupidity, but because of ideology, and ideologues never give up until the bitter end.

I am not going to knock the video,it does provide some information. I do not think it is well done though(he speaks the opposite of what he means more than once for example).

He mostly says information that has been posted here already.
I could sum it up the video in just 2 of my posts in this thread.

When will know that we have saved the planet? When there are no human beings left alive.

It is going to get much uglier for at least a decade unless we stop exports.

I am starting to wonder if inflation is the actual goal. It would make sense(inflate away the debt,it only impoverishes the peasants is how some of them think).

The USD index...WOW! Fell from 110 yesterday to 106 today and is still going down pre market opening. Someone is selling a ton of US treasuries. I mean hundreds of billions. Japan and Saudi Arabia have been selling tens of billions for months and did not nothing to stop the USD index from going up. It has to be a very large or coordinated dump.

It's a way of taxing your citizens, and the world, to fund your massive vote buying scheme without having to follow the pesky procedures laid out in the constitution.
