Change of Course?

It hasn't made me consider any changes Mary but I think it may have had an unforeseen circumstance - and a welcome one. As many of you may already know, my SWMBO is most resistant to the idea of prepping but we have a neighbour and friend who is Thai and my good lady was talking to her about the consequences of the typhoon and of the Boxing Day tsunami and was told by her that the Thai government do the FEMA type recommendation about having a number of days food and fresh water in emergency storage. I think it really surprised SWMBO to hear such a thing from a different source (other than me, that is!) and since then - well, I'm not raising any flags or anything but she does seem just a little more receptive...

Even though it came from disaster and the misfortune of others, we can but hope...
