Rule Number 13: Consider the worst case scenario now and then and prepare for it.

With the death toll currently at about 125,000 from the tsunami that hit last Sunday morning it has me thinking, as this year closes, just how fragile the world really is.

I keep thinking to myself, what would I do if there was a massive scale disaster. Do I have enough food, water, ammo and scotch to get by until the the dust settles? The short answer is no. Well maybe I have enough scotch...

How would I protect the kids? What if I was at work when it hit? What kinds of "it" could hit the fan?

As the year closes it's time to take a look at everything.

--Goodbye 2005. I won't miss you...
