Feb 4

..Im also thinking of stashing some cash into a bank safety deposit box. We have a few grand under the mattress. Im re reading the Anarchist Cookbook and Mark Brays book. We are armed with a good amount of ammo ( from target shooting YEARS ago.....is it still good?)

Im basically preparing the same way I do EVERY summer for fire season. The grab and go boxes with all our documents. I HOPE I dont need it but its ready if I do.

Im working on hubby cleaning out the hoarder garage he has so we can be light and mobile for when trump closes the borders.

We are in Wash State so close to the Canadian border. My dtr is married to a British citizen so they can leave pretty easily.Just trying to secure a way out for the two adult grand kids in college. Our Senator Patti Murray just pulled the fire alarm in Congress.So far shes got my back but shes facing the Hellmouth...as we all are.
