Maybe Doomers are not so crazy...

I do not believe in collapse of industrial civilization or gigantic die-off of most of the human population. It's all nonsense to me, definitely I'm not a Doomer!   I do not shop til I drop - well, maybe I should...

Last week we had some rain falling. It wasn't that much but Alaska Highway could not handle it...


and fell apart in a few places. I can get to work all right but many parts of the highway are closed. Delivery trucks are put on hold and our grocery stores are getting pretty empty:


Now I wish I was just a little Doomer... I have a bread maker and enough in my cupboards, fridge and freezer to survive another couple weeks - hopefully the highway will be fixed by then.

So long my friends,
Evalina

  2. I'm sure it will all be back to normal very soon. We've had strange weather here as well with flash floods and gale force winds - so much for flaming June!! Keep safe.

  3. Wow, those are empty store shelves! Hopefully the highway will be repaired quickly - or at least enough to let traffic through. Take good care of yourself.

  4. You can be sure if everyone kept their heads the shelves wouldn't be so empty quite so soon. People panic-buy at the merest hint of shortages.
    Hope the situation resolves itself speedily for you!
    Otherwise, ask an 'old-timer' what they did before the electronic age - you may be surprised at their resourcefulness !

  6. Hope things improve soon. Hubby used to work in Kemano prior to its demise and food had to be flown in or came in by boat.

    Thanks for sharing that photo. Mother nature can be feisty.

  10. Wow, that's scary. I hope they get it fixed soon. Can you go in the other direction for food and necessities?

  11. The same happens here in Norway, but not due to weather. Here the stores empty out because of a "STRIKE" This is the time of year when most everyone is on strike....It was dairy products last week and teachers, wondering what it will be next?

  12. I've never seen a store that bare! That would be a scary site, but like you, I have plenty to live off of in my pantry and freezer for weeks, if not months!

  13. Just read your newest post (catching up!) and I have to say I'm glad that it's getting fixed. I would be panicky if that happened here!!

  14. yeah but then when Brisbane flooded last year you couldn't get milk or bread at the shops because everyone bought up and all the flour and long life milk was still there. Sometimes people have no sense.
