Shellie that's right you've got that bookstore. Tell me can't you find likeminded folks there to work with. Seems like lot of folks would like to have a bookstore like that within a reasonable distance.

In the meantime it's fall/winter so there's not much need to protecting gardens. There is a meet up group that is working outside of Austin. They are encouraging folks to come to the "farm" and help get things ready. Can't remember the groups name. But will post it when I remember. It is a MeetUp group. Remember, we don't have to agree on everything, only about who the enemy is.

In the city, turn off the power to the house and try to do what you normally do. That will tell you what comes first. This is going to be different for everyone. Also, if you have some folks that can get together have a public restaurant or other "inside" public venue to meet up at as an atlernative meeting place. And always carry some big fat chalk with you when you are out. This will be useful for making your sign (more about that later).

Here is my take on how things will go.

1)economic collapse

The by products will be new restrictions on how you can bank, what is allowed to be done at banks, in fact I just were told on the phone by my bank (and I know them personally) that there are major banking changes coming at the end of October.
So have plan B and C in the finance catagory. If possible open up a free second bank account at a community bank, not the BIG boys, and have it as back up.
Be prepared as if you job is going to be gone soon.

2) Clampon on movement

The financial issues will result in movement restrictions in two ways.

a)can't afford the fuel required to go anywhere except essentials:

Then as the financial collapse deepens ie early spring of 2009 there are larger and larger groups of people that are what the government calls "disinfranchised" demostrating and making demands, this will lead to forced compliance and part b of restriction of movement

b)surgical roadblocks and curfews
The govs idea of compliance is keeping everyone in their homes and out of public venues. So the plans are to control and restrict movement in public thoroughfares by curfews and roadblocks

3) At this stage be prepared for the first flashpoint to occur between armed civilians and armed. At this point you must know who you can trust.....

This is my take how any country gets out of control.
