  • I play the “I told you so” card whenever I can, with a proactive and self-reliant spin.

    We were hit with a climate intensified storm and lost our home, We moved and were hit again, but less severely, thanks to storm hardening our new home.

    This summer, I put in a tornado/hurricane shelter on our small plot. When I showed the FEMA plans to the code enforcers, showing how I was hardening all of our home, garage, and shed, the entire department came to look at the plans. I’m enough of a nerd to appreciate the group of engineers is ooohing and ahhing a common sense solution.

    I harden and storm proof, and have put in solar, and drive electric. It does not happen in a day, but step by step, can get better. I cannot change my state and their politics. (they are MAGA), but that does not mean that I have to roll over. I can lead by example, and I can make sure that my family can thrive after the storm


  • American healthcare is so expensive for those with no or minimal insurance, postpone using hospitals and doctors until a last resort. The predictable result is that when patients finally have to use those services, their problem is often advanced, harder to heal and much more expensive. Our health outcomes are at the bottom of the industrial nations.
