Weekend Update

The family did a 3 mile fun run, well walking with a two year old and stroller, called The Country Run in the Capital City of Arkansas. It was hot and humid but got everyone out and active for the day.


I joked with the kids that we were like a herd of Zombies after the first mile. A documentary on WWII, they commented that the city refugees would scour the countryside for seven miles on each side of the lines of drift. The current physical condition of people nowadays, your farm would probably be safe four miles from any major highway.

  1. Unfortunately, the 'gubment would probably give the foragers a free bus ride to your farm. Either that, or the same entity would confiscate your prep and give it to those poor, hungry mouths, so that they wouldn't have to lift a finger! NEVER assume you're safe...

    1. Wasn't it Ronald Reagan that said the worst words to hear was that "I'm from the government, and I'm here to help."?

      My point was that people are in worse physical shape today, and less likely to walk any distance.

      Just like they say that the grocery stores have an average of 3 days of food, it think it's less. Look behind the front facing groceries and see the empty shelf space behind it.
