Stand by for heavy rolls
             Now we get to pay the piper
            Bad things are coming, or so many think. And there is little I can do about it, other than plan for it. Even our ancestors did much the same during their time, like graduating a Naval Academy class early in 1941, or the Army doing much the same in 1917. Both decisions anticipated the coming wars. Now that was planning.

            The causes are obvious, to me.  We presently have a lightweight federal president who has hired similar lightweights to be in charge. We are unilaterally disarming. We face a probable financial collapse. We have been dumbing down our population for decades, and now get to live the consequences.

            The idea of trust, faith, and confidence comes into my mind. Call  it moral authority, too. In my idea of "heavy rolls", I have all the aforementioned thoughts. Now I am thinking more like our ancestors, like the need to "plan ahead" in the most primitive sense.

            And it will affect me, too, mostly adversely. And it will affect my Family, too. So be it. And while I may die, too, I will go down fighting.  I have some dignity.

            Even my golden rule instincts are being challenged. Like if fellow people screw themselves, should I try help them when it becomes obvious to them and their own Families where I live. Right now I will..."as best I can". Mostly that means being warm and fed.

            Even if some pandemic occurs from hard times' causes, I will try help them , too.

            Is what is coming historical in the biblical sense? Perhaps.

            Will "heavy rolls" cause a serious dent in the human population, probably.

            Do I want to revert to an older time? Of course not! Will I deal with reality? Of course yes!

            Can I get down into the weeds? Of course yes. Two obvious examples are the 10,000 year clock in Texas (under construction) and the seed vault in Norway.

            Do I want to live in the weeds? No.

            Do I want to try survive the "heavy rolls" first? Yes.
