I dunno if we've ruined this one , but I'm well enough prepared
to fight tooth and nail to keep my family and "stuff" safe ...

Good luck with that.

You need to find out what your fighting
against, before you can fight it. Right
now I'm about to fight hunger.

I fought that hours ago . The battle was won with homemade
spaghetti (my recipe , simmered all afternoon) and garlic bread .
That sounds good. I'm getting ready to cook pork chops, fried
zucchini & steamed rice, with tossed salad and lemon cake for
desert.

The battle for survival might be a bit more difficult ... and
probably bloody . Example - a former neighbor was overheard saying
they were going to shoot my generator (during a power outage)
because it wasn't fair that I had one and they didn't . They changed
their mind when I stepped around the corner and they saw my sidearm .

My neighbors have a generator so loud I can hear it from
1500 feet away, but I wouldn't consider shooting it.

It wasn't because it was loud , it was because "It's unfair he's got one and
we don't" . Buying a genset would have cut into their drug money , which
they got by selling their food stamps . There's a large population of
"underpriveledged" people here - read "too lazy to work" . This same segment
of the populace thinks getting an education is being an "Uncle Tom" . I'll
let you fill in the blanks .
