It seems the Crisis Mode is taking hold. Even assuming I could get an acre of food to grow it would not be any food I would choose. Face it--chard is only one step up from gathering leaves in the woods.
I've been scoping out the wildlife here in SeniorLand and it is
But in the midst of this Crisis Planning I discovered a list of possible catastrophes that could happen. Oy vey! I hadn't even thought about most of these!

Possible Disasters OR Think nothing can happen to you?
Well, Teflon man, take a look at these potential disasters and think again:
Natural Disasters Weather-related
Hurricanes--nope
Tornadoes--nope
Heavy thunder storms--not yet
Flash flooding --nope
Mud/rock slides--not here
High winds--nope
Hail --what's that?
Severe winter weather
Avalanche--in Sonoma County? Doesn't that need mountains + snow?
Extreme high heat--nope
Drought --got one, thank you
Wildfire--YES! BINGO!
Non Weather-related
Earthquake--every Californian lives with this possibility and also ignores/jokes about it--this is probably not a good idea to face our most likely crisis.
Volcano eruption--not lately
Tidal wave/Tsunami --say what????
Man-made Disasters
War (conventional, biological, chemical or nuclear)--who wants to survive these? Drink the Kool-Aid
Toxic material emission/spill (from a train or nearby plant)--It would be hard to tell since the majority of people here think that if someone spits on the sidewalk it's the equivalent of a toxic spill. I simply think it's an egregious lapse in good manners.

Riot or other civil disorder--too mellow here for that--might have to put down glass of wine
Nuclear plant melt down or other nuclear disaster--can't happen. I have seen the "Nuclear Free Zone" signs posted on every corner.

Terrorism--now this is likely--especially if the terrorism of the local Hall Monitors increases
Fire--again, this one is the most likely
Government action against you --now we're getting into the really good stuff! Will they try and tax my Survival Acre of chard???
Stock market crash --got that now
Sever depression--this one puzzled me. Do they mean "severe" depression? A depressed person seldom wants to plant an acre of crops. Or do they mean "server" depression? This I can understand! AOL can drive one to the very brink of despair!
Other Plague or disease outbreak--this could happen. We have enough plague-bearing squirrels and raccoons running around here but since I already have my very own personal disease outbreak I think I won't spend valuable worry time on this one.

Comet strike or giant meteor--never thought of it--it would certainly take out the Survival Garden
Alien invasion--now we're talking! I don't listen to Coast To Coast for nothing! Most callers think this happens nightly. I'll brush up my Reptilian list on Facebook.

I will be glad to take up my post as Worry Warden for the upcoming Crisis Days we surely have ahead of us.
