I went to the supermarket yesterday and while I was shopping tried to keep in mind about what my friend said about boycotting American goods. So, strolling through the produce section at Thrifty foods, it came to light that a large percentage of fruits and vegetables were from the States.

In light of this, I started thinking about how, if the US were to fall, that we would be screwed! We would have limited food and it could become like Russia. We could be waiting in lines for the simplest of everyday needs.

I know this sounds a little alarmist but the truth is, I think we should be aware of this. Myself, I plan to make this point more and more often. We have to begin to become more self-sufficient. I will start today.

Anybody know if we can grow papayas on the West Coast? Would it actually work?
