Calling fellow city dwellers

[MaryN]

I am sure we would all feel most comfortable in the places we are used to. It's just assessing the potential of any possible threats-to-come that is probably important. I hold my hand up - I'm a country-liver (town living would drive me nuts), and I know how to survive in the countryside. I won't say it is always easy, but the air is fresh, foraging is free and I think the chances of being hit by a wave of crime or disease would be less than if I was a city-dweller. I am sure that city-dwellers have got all sorts of ideas about where to obtain supplies of food or other necessities if things go wrong, but I do feel that with the potential for raiding mobs of looters and such, who would quickly deplete any available supplies, not to mention the distinct possibility of personal harm, then possibly survival in the countryside might be a better option.

This is, you understand, only the view of a country mouse. If I walked through my nearest small town I could see the potential problems even there.
