Something Different

This week I am going to do something that I have never done before and that is ask you to please watch the following 23 minute video and then take the one answer poll.

Click here for the video

I certainly don't agree with the solution proposed in the video because as is the case with most of the discontent - I don't think those who complain have a solution.

BUT - the single answer poll question is - "Putting aside the solution proposed in the video - do YOU think the 'facts' presented in the video are correct?"

Here is the poll

PLEASE watch the video and take the poll. The poll will close on Friday - and I plan to tell you the results in my next newsletter. If you do not think the answer choices make a fair poll - please email me your comments.

In the previous newsletter I discussed suicide and curiously this week there was published in a major newspaper a further study that sheds light upon the subject.

a further study on suicide

But - enough on that subject here. My concern was about in the aftermath of disaster. Then curiously there came also to my attention this week a series of videos, probably over an hour in length, regarding survivors of the Indian Ocean Tsunami on Christmas Day 2004 that killed 250,000 people.



Much of the tsunami series consisted of personal videos made by the survivors during the event. It was amazing to see how many people were running trying to escape, with the phone cameras in hand. If it were to occur now, eight years later, I suppose with the increased popularity of that technology, it would be even more. As a result many of us today are practically eye witnesses to events that two centuries ago we would have had to rely upon verbal accounts. I wonder if the technology will survive to give future generations such an accounting of nuclear WW3 and the subsequent Catastrophe.

The astounding thing to me was the similarity of the response by so many in the aftermath. There were many accounts from people from very, very diverse cultures and yet the response was often the same. One of a feeling of guilt and remorse to have been the ones to have survived when family and friends perished. Even over the loss of strangers that they witnessed or tried to help. I had read about such feelings in accounts of other disasters but it was quite different to witness them.

The other astounding thing was how many felt that they had been singled out for survival and as a result that they had a pressing duty to acknowledge their appreciation and live a life of service thereafter. As I stated before, this was entirely cross cultural.

The significance of this to me was that there is perhaps really reason to believe, what I have been saying all along, in that a Great Catastrophe may change the attitudes of humanity and turn them in a new direction. I have always said that I thought that was the purpose of God's mercy in permitting it - and this reinforces my hope that this is true and that will be the outcome.

Very busy weekend here. I am writing this Saturday morning to send out after midnight. I often do this in order to have a weekly newsletter that I try to put out on Sunday. If there is something critical that occurs, then I can with some inconvenience make a last minute edit before I hit send at Mad Mimi - our super newsletter server that I am so grateful to have found many months ago.

Long battle yesterday trying to correct an error with the mortgage company which in the process of setting up an online automatic payment system took a payment early and at this moment our bank account is seriously over-drafted - but whether the bank will let that stand for a day or charge us some exorbitant fee - we don't know. It is on Jean's account and she will struggle into the bank to check on it as we leave town.

Off then to emergency in Barrie because Jean has decided that her ankle is broken. Impossible place to park so she will try to get in there to sit for hours while I do other necessary errands. I will be picking up the Ham radio because Robin put $100 onto our paypal account and the repair place accepted PayPal. Robin said that she is always broke at the end of the month so that there was no need for this month to be different. Her gift was originally meant so that we could go to the puppies' graduation but we didn't get to go because the association wouldn't relent and let Jemma come and we couldn't leave her home alone for what would have been an eight hour round trip. I can understand the association not feeling they could make an exception in our case - but I was hoping they might take out Jemma's stitches while we were there.

So while Jean is in emergency, besides picking up the radio, I will be taking Jemma to Bonnar and Marie for them to take out the stitches. I think it may be a first time experience for all three of them. Bonnar does have EMT training, and Marie is a groomer, and Jemma, well she is just sweet patient Jemma.

At some point to hopefully pick back up Jean and then for supper with kids and grandkids at daughter's. Back home in time to push the newsletter button - shortly after midnight. The week is full of activities like this. One night my keyboard suddenly died but fortunately I had a new one bought 'unnecessarily' years ago when I thought it happened before. This time it was necessary and Victoria had sent us some left over Canadian cash so I was able to pay to have it installed. Not only that but to get Jean's hearing aids cleaned out - so she is now hearing something, and we even got candies in preparation of Halloween next week.

Minute to minute whatever we need is provided. Duncan has a line on someone to fix the generator part and will be seeing them today. Butch is going to check on our books on Sunday. Something tragic appears to have happened with Rob and I haven't been able to reach him for the last several weeks. Carlton has sent the radio UI (User Interface) analysis to Darlene and I hope to hear soon that she is working on it. Ever since Monday I have been trying to get Newark to ship our radio parts order. Sent them the money by PayPal as they agreed but it seems that they still don't know how to handle that.

We completed the 15 lesson Writers Survival Course, yesterday, but I am sure the writers feel that I have abandoned them. There are times when I just don't keep all the balls in the air. Tomorrow noon, four videographers from Kitchener are to come at noon plus a fifth individual from New Market. I am hoping for a break in the rain so that they can help me bring in a bunch of wood. Lots of people have said they would come and help - but we really need power at the shelter for it to be practical.

One big task that needs doing right away is straightening up a gate post. I had the gate leveled in the Spring but it has pulled the post onto a slant. It means getting a couple of T-Posts, one for there and one nearby for another post. These cost ten dollars each - so unfortunately it is going to have to wait until another time. Really need to get it done before snow because the gate is dragging on the ground and we won't be able to open it in snow.

Many people look at many things here and think that we should do this, that, and many other things - but it all takes time, money and energy - all of which are in short supply. Not complaining. Because we get more help than anyone - and if something should happen enough people will likely show up in a day to help and accomplish more than I can do alone in months.

Have a tractor scheduled with John to move the remains of last years wood pile forward - sometime before the end of November. Wilf says he will come down mid November to help me get it ready. Postponed, because of the cost, the wood delivery until the the first of December. Every year I think that I will get it in July. Hah! Have to learn to go with the Lord's will. It all works out for the best that way.

Realize that none of this is news - but it is just a sharing of how things are here at Ark Two. Some people wonder what it is like here so I just give the down to earth scoop.

Victoria has done another video - so here is this weeks video on understanding the

Half Life of Radiation

SAFE Ark Two Newsletter
October 21st, 2012


A Statistical Threshold

Statistics were released this week that for the first time since the invention of the automobile and such statistics have been kept - The TOP cause of violent deaths in the US is no longer the automobile. It is __????__. I will continue this story further down in the newsletter - to give you a chance to think about it.



Other news of the moment.

We are in that ten day time frame, that we have been talking about for months, between the end of the Jewish Holidays and the end of the month before the US elections, with the weather window - etc., etc., etc. (to quote "The King and I").

It is of note - with all the military movement that I mentioned in the previous newsletter - that the US and Israel are going to conduct within this same next ten days the LARGEST joint military exercise/games that they have ever conducted. The exact date of which is still unannounced, which in itself is unusual because usually for games you want to let everyone know exactly when, where and what you are doing so that they don't become overly paranoid.

In the meantime, as if that were not enough, there are still at least six other interesting pieces of news.

1. Iran too, is doing exercises/high alerts/murky water announcements.

2. Syria, Egypt, Lebanon, and now Jordan, all bordering Israel, have all had very traumatic/unsettling experiences this last week.

3. Everyone in the Middle East including Turkey and Russia have somehow gotten in on the Syrian confrontations this last week. Overall, things could hardly be more unsettled.



4. There is a website, called October Surprise, that has announced that it will make a major announcement on Monday or Tuesday - impacting the National election. This is most likely a hoax.

5. Numerous highly respected financial/market consultants are speculating on the possibility of a "Black Monday" within the next three months (I think four) but even tomorrow. This all ties into the "Euro", the US "Financial Cliff" (because of the US budget law), and so forth.

6. And of course the whole US election/societal/racial scene is getting edgier. The next couple of weeks could indeed be very interesting.

But, IMHO, (although I don't see it as being all that humble - just often wrong) this time next month the talk in the "end of the world circles" will be all about the approaching culmination of the 2012 Mayan predictions. My personal expectation is that around mid-February we will be off to a depressing 2013, that will climax between late 2014 and late 2015.

The only thing that I feel that I can definitively say is that while things will surely get worse the only thing that we can expect with certainty is - the unexpected.



Now - back to the lead story. The answer is suicide. Suicide has become the top cause of violent death in the US. There is a lot to ponder about that. Some might have thought 'guns' and that this was a paen for gun control. Others might hold that abortion is a violent end for life - and it didn't even make the running although it far outnumbers suicide.

Yep, the numbers of suicides is climbing. Perhaps, for the crossing over of the numbers, the number of auto fatalities is decreasing. Serious statistics will take into account such factors as the number of automobiles and numbers of both causes per thousand. Whichever. I am going to talk about the increasing incidence of suicide.

It is certainly not just a phenomena in the US but one that is worldwide. Rising human expectations and disappointment and all that. Certainly varies from culture to culture. The United States and Canada are down in 38th and 39th places in the World Health Organization list with less than 20 per hundred thousand and the top ranking countries have over 50 per hundred thousand. The statistics for many countries are probably highly unreliable - but things are tough all over.

Suicide is not all that easily defined or identified. For example - "death by cop" or "terrorist going after 72 virgins". Even war heroes become intentionally careless and sometimes it is said they just "no longer give a d--n." I have mentioned before how over half the flag draped caskets coming back from Afghanistan are suicides. What psychological motivations there are for both terrorists and heroes - we sometimes don't know.

The Japanese Kamikaze pilots were Japan's most effective weapon. Tens of thousands volunteered and several thousand planes were set aside for an invasion of the Japanese mainland that never happened, because Truman used the atomic bomb. Still they were the pride of their country and did great damage to the American fleet. Mothers would go about getting 1,000 women to put a single stitch into a 1,000 stitch sash for their sons. How many thousands of these were made, I don't know, but they remain collector's items today. There are such attitudes of pride and courage in many cultures, besides our own.

But why am I writing about this? Well, the point is - as times get tougher - the rate of suicides will increase. I want to point out that in actuality - things aren't all that bad. So the electricity gets turned off. So one gets turfed out and is having to sleep in a tent or car. So one only gets one meal a day or misses a day or two. Honestly, most of humanity has had it that tough forever. We just live in exceptional times. People expect/want/demand far more, and we feel more than a little sorry for ourselves when we don't get it.

In reality it is a spiritual trip - but I am not going to go there. Neither am I going to make one of my regular trips into the past, or even the present. What this newsletter is about is the future - and initially not all that a pleasant one. In a sense the world is committing suicide. Death by detonation. There will be initial survivors. But in the two years after the 'event' many will die of starvation, cold, epidemics, radiation sickness, and other accompanying causes. They can just hang in there and suffer (I think the recommended path) or they can take the 'easy way out' and it is not mine to judge. I am not, however, going to give a comparative analysis of methods.

What is the purpose of living, anyway? Well, if one can't figure that out - then they have no real purpose in surviving. Natural instinct you say? We overcome that all the time. Unfortunately, many of the survivors will be - well... 'survivors'. I mean that they will be highly motivated by the natural instinct, without any restraint of morals, and you really don't want to have to interface with them. But, you may - and that too is another story.

The real solution is to understand the purpose of living, which I define as being - "To love God and serve one's fellow man", and with that focus one is equipped and capable of facing any hardship because - "Greater love hath no man - but that he will lay down his life for another." None of us are going to get out of this world alive. The purpose of the journey is educate the soul. That is done through tests and suffering. There is no greater opportunity for tests and suffering than that which is coming down the road.

It is also the greatest time and opportunity in the history of man, to be able to serve God and humanity, by helping to construct a new human society that most greatly encourages the development of the human souls. All things need to be in balance. In order to develop, the chick is required to struggle to get out of the egg. If we 'help' - it will not survive. If the individual soul does not struggle - it will not develop, but there is balance in all things.

Humanity as a whole needs better education, diet, medical care, opportunities for service, and so forth. Reconstruction of society in that way is what Ark Two is all about. Not to put back a society of selfishness and greed, materialism and immorality, prejudice, distrust, hatred and violence - as we have today.

But there I have gone and done it. I said I wasn't going to preach - and I ended up doing it anyway.

None of us know what this week is going to hold for us. We have Jemma dog back from her operation and they had us sign the adoption papers so she stays with us now. We would have liked to go see her puppies graduate on Wednesday, but it is not shaping up that way because we don't yet have a dog sitter and we don't have the gas anyway.

Still getting some more writers for the book series. Could still use more so it is still not to late to join. We would need 150 if everyone wrote just one chapter - although I am hoping some will write lots more.

Next couple of weeks is our wood challenge. Jean urging me to go out and bring in some more this very minute - but I need to move the rest of the old woodpile so this year's supply can be delivered. Money challenge again. Not complaining. As Jean said yesterday, looking at all the stories from the Middle East. "Unbelievable. We can't even imagine it."

This issue hasn't been just chuck full of cheerful news but here is one. Victoria's video for this week is on a subject that I have spent years trying to figure out how to clearly communicate.

The Political Circus

The US political circus is in full swing. The emotional drama about nothing now occupies the minds of many of the citizens. It makes no difference who wins - the policies of the power elite that appoints both candidates - will remain the same. Unemployment will continue, the lack of opportunity for those in the ghettos will continue, the stress and strain on those in the so called middle class will continue.

The financial/economic/monetary crisis will continue. The international conflicts will continue. The arms proliferations will continue. Morality will continue to worsen and materiality will abound. Nothing will change - except for the worse as society continues to crumble.

Nevertheless - great emotional coin will be expounded in hatred for one side of the political spectrum against the other. All for naught. There will be no recognition of the real underlying problems and no solutions that will be implemented. I am totally supportive of any proposals that would make things better and I shall pass on one below. While it is only a partial solution and by no means addresses, or for that matter even identifies, many of the essential problems - nevertheless it is at least what some will see as one positive step - so here it is and you can do with it as you will.



Warren Buffett, in a recent interview told CNBC:

I could end the deficit in 5 minutes, You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

His recommendation/plan is below:


The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc.

Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure.

Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise.

In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2012:

1. No Tenure / No Pension.

A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office.

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women.

Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time?

THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!

If you agree, pass it on. If not, delete.
You are one of my 20+ - Please keep it going, and thanks

[Note from Bruce: So I have done my part and have passed this on to you.]


Numbers of people have been concerned about the time frame between Oct 11th, and before the US election. (The 11th because it was the end of the Jewish Holy Days.) Because this is within the fall weather window and accentuated with the recent photos from Iran, the IAEA report and other factors, many have been convinced that Israel will attack Iran in this period. Other concepts such as the "October Surprise" have also prevailed.

Anyway - we are in that short window - and once it closes then there will be some continuing excitement about the 2012 predictions. I have noticed that as the time of predictions get closer, while a few get frantic, there is usually a more general dropping away of concern about them. Still, I do report such information as I get.

The following is getting a bit long in the tooth - as I have been keeping it in my file for the last three weeks, but here it is from Stratfor.

Curious U.S. and French Military Deployments

September 28, 2012
Summary

Stratfor has received multiple reports of U.S. and French military movements that we would like to highlight to our readers. These movements could have multiple explanations and might not be linked. But given the numerous ongoing crises specifically centered in North Africa and the Middle East, we consider these developments to be worth following.

Analysis

According to a worldwide network of aircraft spotters and trackers, at least a dozen MC-130H, HC-130N, HC-130P and AC-130U military transport planes and gunships crossed the Atlantic Ocean on Sept. 13 heading eastbound. These aircraft are typically used for a variety of special tasks, including in close cooperation with special operations forces. The last reported stop for the aircraft was Souda Bay, Crete. It is unclear whether the aircraft have left Crete, but we are working on tracking them down.

A week and a half later, on Sept. 24, the same network of aircraft spotters noted 12 U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet fighter jets arriving in two waves at Moron air base in Spain. It is not known where the squadron is heading, though it could be en route to Afghanistan to reinforce elements there. The Harrier squadron that suffered heavy losses in the Sept. 14 attack on Camp Bastion has already been replaced by another Harrier unit, so it is unlikely that the squadron's deployment is directly linked to that event. It is also possible that the F/A-18s are heading to the Gulf Cooperation Council region. A number of air superiority squadrons, including an F-22 Raptor squadron, have already deployed to the region. If that is the case, the squadron is intended simply as reinforcements or replacements for assets currently deployed there.

Also on Sept. 24, The New York Times published an article stating that Iraq and the United States were negotiating an agreement that could result in the return of small units of U.S. soldiers to Iraq on training missions. At the request of the Iraqi government, according to U.S. Gen. Robert Caslen, a unit of Army special operations soldiers was recently deployed to Iraq to advise on counterterrorism and to help with intelligence. It is possible that at least some of the MC-130 aircraft previously mentioned were delivering these special operations troops to Iraq.

Another report on Sept. 24, this one by the Le Figaro French-language newspaper, said some 100 French special operations troops had been deployed in the sub-Saharan region to counteract militants in northern Mali. Le Figaro also reported that maritime patrol aircraft that can be used to collect intelligence will be deployed to the region and that commandos of the French navy will reinforce the French special operations troops.

Finally, Italian journalist Guido Olimpio reported in September that U.S. unmanned aerial vehicles are currently tracking militants in Cyrenaica, the historical name for eastern Libya. He also said "reliable sources" had confirmed that U.S. special operations forces were planning to carry out intelligence operations that could be in preparation for surgical strikes in North Africa, including in Libya and in Mali.

All these deployments could be previously scheduled movements for training or part of ongoing operations. They also do not necessarily mean any one mission is imminent. The United States and France could simply be positioning military assets in a region that is rife with conflict and that may eventually require rapid military intervention or action.

Whatever the intent, these deployments, taken together, are too compelling to ignore. Given the fluid conflicts in North Africa, Syria and Afghanistan, as well as the current tensions with Iran, these movements and reports are important to highlight to our readers.



The last several weeks and this one coming up have been intensely busy an Ark Two. Just now checked the MCP (Most Clear Proof) folder on my computer - and there are 288 emails in it, from the 14 days since Sept. 30th, until today, about the proof that Christ has returned. Love that. If anyone missed out on that and would still like to email me about it - be sure to do so. bruce@webpal.org

A bit handicapped this week because Jean sprained, or had something happen to her ankle, and it was so swollen she tried crutches for a while and then stayed completely in bed for a day or two. Has meant my doing meals for ourselves and guests, laundry, such housekeeping as we do, and such details. She hobbles about a bit now, but no up or down stairs or going out. She has kept building logs for the fire - which has been a big help.

The association with which we volunteer, picked Jemma up Thursday to go to vet for Spaying on Tuesday and we are to pick her back up on Thursday, a five hour trip. Does make the house seem a bit emptier at the moment. Boo, Bender, Bowie, Bear, Baasje are all to graduate on the 24th. This will be from her litter two years ago. It takes two years to train the puppies to work with children with autism. We have been invited to the graduation ceremony and we would like to go. Last two years we didn't have a car that would make it. (Thanks to Ian it is possible for us to go this year.)

I have tried to set myself a schedule of getting the newsletter out on Sunday, but this week it just wasn't possible. We had three overlapping crews of people here this weekend and others earlier in the week. Great for getting things done here - and I need many more people to come, but when something is getting done in one area it always means that I am not keeping the balls in the air, in another.

Did get the Writers Survival Course started and today we will be up to Lesson 5 of the 15 lessons. In the first lesson I said there were 20 lessons, but that is because I wrote that one first and didn't go back and read it after I finished writing, and before I sent it out. Bad. But all in all I think the writers are finding the course good. I have a lot that I need to be doing with them. It is not too late to join us for what I hope will be an important service to people who are prepared.

Hmmm. Just now opened a box of Graham Crackers with a May 05, 2010 expiry date. Probably made in 2008 or 2009. With water sprinkling, butter, heating, they are edible although a couple of years past their expiry date. Jean and I are eating them - but I don't recommend them. However, fits in with a lesson about food in the Writers Survival Course that the writers haven't gotten to yet.

We shot footage for National Geographic yesterday. Daughter, granddaughter, and grandson came for that. Malcolm the master electrician who is working on our generators stayed for the shooting and was a big help with lighting and all. A special video crew came. We also shot additional footage for Victoria. Still working on some glitches in getting this uploaded. It seems to be too high resolution for my computer programs. Nat. Geo. wanted sound right on the video so we had to use some special sound recording equipment because our camera does not do that well outside. I have to work on releases and a bunch of other details today, for Nat. G.

There are always struggles, and Victoria had a weird one with the YouTube video for this week (it kept coming up in 3-D) but she got it straightened out, and here it is.

SAFE Ark Two Newsletter
October 7th, 2012


Canadian Thanksgiving

Lots happening. In fact so much here this week that I hardly have time to write.

But - in the world also. The big news this week was the defection of the Ahmadnejad's personal photographer to the US with reportedly two suitcases of photos of the Iranian nuclear sites. Report was suspiciously first in Debka File but then from all MSM sources.

Shades of United States Secretary of State General Colin Powell and his phony photographs of Iraq's Poison Gas trailers. Not to say that these Iran photographs may not be legitimate but that it is all convenient timing for what is called a Wag the Dog scenario. BUT - I am not going to go there. What will be, will be.

There are so many phony statistics, reports, from the government that surely no one has much faith in any of them. The big statistic this week was the Reduction in Unemployment from 8.1 to 7.8. A BIG 3/10ths of a percent drop. I say that with sarcasm - because the common practice has now become to issue the figures and then the next month to say that those were 'preliminary' figures and that the revised figures show an even greater change - which could be in either direction (but by a far margin is usually worse). The revised figures are about 'old news' and so don't get a play in the MSM. All a part of the manipulation of public perception.



But the figures are all phonier than a three dollar bill, anyway. All that number reports and means is the new number who applied for unemployment insurance in that period. As the economy gets worse and more people are not eligible for unemployment insurance that number 'improves' which means that it goes down and more people are out of work without unemployment insurance. Well - whoopee! (Again sarcasm.) That can only appeal to the heart of a dyed in the wool Ayn Rand believer.

This from May 18th - on CBS. Some units are seeing unemployment levels of 30% That is a phony number also - because we are still talking about the government statistical method and NOT what they call DISCOURAGED WORKERS - which are the ones no longer eligible for unemployment. The Ayn Rand solution is to reduce benefits - to 'encourage' more to seek employment. According to a Workforce Management online survey, a shocking 65% of employers would not hire an active Guard member or Reservist.

The real number for unemployment among Vets discharged a couple of years ago, in black ghettos, is thought by some to be over 40% and even that may be an understatement. If you live in a predominately white community you may think this is not an overall problem that will lead to societal collapse. I differ as to that opinion.

Inflation figures, as any economist knows, are just as phony as unemployment figures. The academic/professional literature is full of discussion about how the measures are continually changed to make things look good, but every now and then my wife will come to me at the computer with a can to show me how bad things look to her.

This last week it was two cans. One was Heinz beans. We use lots of them. The old cans on the shelf have the beans in them so thick that you have to shake them out and get a knife or spoon. The new cans have so much water that the beans just pour out.

The second can was the frozen orange juice. Used to be filled right up to the top. Now there is little gap. I said, "Well that isn't much." Her reply was that amounts to a cup of orange juice and 4 cups in in four cans in the week - makes a quart of orange juice that they steal from me every week." Yep, that is 12 gallons a year that they are taking just from us. Times the millions of people that buy frozen orange juice - that amounts to a lot of orange juice.

It is that way everywhere. The bag of microwave popcorn used to fill the bowl. No more. The frozen pizza used to feed us with a couple of pieces left over. No more. The box of dried cereal is now more box than cereal. The potato chip bag will do for one sitting. I hope that I am not really getting all that much fatter.

Rip here and rip there. From the insurance company, the bank fees. The telephone company. Would you believe that the telephone company now charges a fee "TO DISCONNECT A PHONE!" Government license fees are something else. But us frogs in the water aren't supposed to notice that it is heating up. Just read the government statistics - AND BELIEVE. Then you will think all is good.

Ooops. Sorry. Didn't mean to go into a rant. Things aren't really all that bad for us here. I still get my hair cut every two or three months for $10 but Jean's got too high so that she wants me to cut hers. I do sometimes - but not a good idea. Cost of wood almost doubled this year. But still, not like what some people pay. On to other subjects.

Needing lots more help on the books. Some writers doing okay - but others are not producing enough. I have a new idea. Rather than writing a whole book, how about some more of you out there writing just a cameo, a short story about one character and event that you develop, and we will include it as a chapter or part of a chapter in one book.

To encourage this - I have another new idea. There is particular little survival course that gives skills like I never imagined. I told you about it before, but I know that most of you never looked it up or went through it. I am going to encourage all the writers to do so - and so that people will do so I am going to give it in small section by small section. To get into this course you have to join our writer's team and make a contribution, because this course will give you insight into what you are writing about.

I will give a few days for everyone who wants to, to join - and I will explain what we are writing about - and then I will start sending the course to everyone that has joined us. I will try to send a small 5 minute read every day -but you will be surprised how quickly we will make it through the course - and if once we start - you want to quit, just let me know and I will take you off. If I am not getting some feedback from you - I make take you off anyway.

There won't be that many join this project. Last week I predicted that I would have very small numbers that would follow through on what I offered then. Only 36% of the Ark Two newsletter engaged last week. According to those who study such data - 15% is considered good, but I drive away those who are not really interested. Still, that is a discouraging low number to me. All in all (because I kept the replies in a separate file) I can tell you that I had 284 emails written to me about that subject this week - all of which I replied to personally and individually.

Okay, but let me know you are interested in the book writing project (cameo writing for your part) and I will enroll you in this new survival course. It really did sort of blow my mind. In fifty years of studying this subject I'd never seen anything like it. It is free on the Internet, and I did tell you about it before, but as usual, most no one followed through on it. Only about two or three in a thousand do - so by doing it in this way - I may accomplish two tasks simultaneously. Gain help in writing the books and teach more about survival to more people.

The latter will be accomplished in two ways. One by my teaching the course - and secondly, by people including the information in what they write. So anyway,
PARTICIPATE.

Busy, busy week here. Hundreds of emails to respond to, many beyond and on other subjects than the 284 mentioned above. More people wanting to build shelters. More inquiring about Ark Two. Two media groups to come this week. One is to help me shoot an addendum for National Geographic.

Yesterday was Hazardous Waste Day - so Jean and I made several hours of effort to clean up that sort of stuff around here. Completely filled the car to go to the Hazardous Waste Collection Depot - and then we did a dump trip after that.

Jean did a lot of canning this week but thinks that is now over. Different things from different neighbors and relatives. We have had a fire yesterday and today. I need to bring in more wood before we leave for Canadian Thanksgiving dinner with our son, daughter, and grandchildren in Barrie. Jean has made a special carrot salad, pies and cranberry sauce and we are taking them jars of our honey. All a part of bounteous country living. A fig on the grocery stores and their cans. Just joking.

Carlton is REALLY helping on the radio software - and good response from Darlene on that also this week. STILL hung up about the power transistors.

Victoria has her new video up for this week. It is little different, and personal. I hope you enjoy it. It is on:
