Take Stock of uoir Life

Here and there, from time to time, It is a good idea, a practical idea, to take stock of your life. Where you're going, where you've been and the routes you need to travel can all get blurry over time.

It may be time to sit down, alone  or with the adult members of your household and check the books, financial, physical and spiritual. Be honest but be fair. Stay calm and remain open. Hide nothing. Clear the air. Don't ne dead serious but avoid silliness.

It is a good idea to rake stock of your life. You will function more efficiently. When done treat everyone to ice cream and a drink

Watch the Weather

At the risk of sounding alarmist, let me say that things are a might strange of late. How strange? Well, in a very short period the UA has been hit by 2 Category 4 hurricanes. Now, Puerto Rico is being hammered by yet another Category 4 storm. Category 4 storms are rare, very rare. The Eastern Islands have also had to deal with Jose and, yes it too was Category 4.

The Atlantic and Gulf Waters are generally in the low to mid 80s this tome of year. Now they are near 90. And storm season runs until December 1. They are rare after mid=October, but this year, who knows?

In addition, Mexico just got nailed by a strong earthquake. It seems that Mother Nature is pissed at us. Can'y blame her. We have not been good stewards.

The Practical American will note all of this and have emergency plans and supplies. Don't go nuts. You don't need to become a survivalist, just use your head. And. maybe try to get on better terms with the Earth.
