back to getting prepared

Recent world events, including twelve missing Libya jetliners has given Senior and I a much needed kick in the butt to resume our prepping operations. I admit with the move we have grown a bit lax.

I have begun saving two-liter drink bottles, adding a few drops of bleach and using them for water storage. I  guess the chicken project and adding a winter garden could also be included in our return to prepping. As we have completed both. Now it is a matter of watching the veggies and chickens grow.

Like I said ; 12 stolen planes, Americans joining terror groups, the 9/11 anniversary, and a President who honestly does not give a S--- from one week to the next.  If those things do not scare a person in to being prepared, then  I don't know what will.

What everyone else is thinking

Everyone has done a post or two about it. So I will add one more. The thoughts and prayers of my family goes out to those who lost a loved one, or had a loved one injured. Senior and I are both so very sorry for your loss.
I can only hope and pray that our government does not pander to those who did this, but acts swiftly.
When we were stationed in CT, we visited Boston several times, its a beautiful and historical city. I am saddend this had to happen there.

They initially  wouldn't call it an act of Terror..but yet that is just what it was. The people who did this, achieved their goal of exacting terror on the good citizens of this country. They got what they wanted:  National exposure, and Terror....
Finally today, almost 24 hours later, POTUS says it will be treated like an act of terror... gee!

We give billions in aid to these countries, and this is how we are paid back? 
Yes we will probably catch the SOBs who did this, we will pat them on the wrist, they will get a free defense team, probably only be sent to  jail for life, give them free meals, a place to live, TV, exercise, an education if they so choose..  and it will be paid for by the very people who they hate, and want to exact terror upon..  Us, the citizens of this country.
 Reprehensible if you ask me...
