Yes! One of my favorite books.Beekissed said:Is the towel a nod to the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"?
I think I will fill a warehouse with batteries of all kinds and then defend it with my life...and dole out batteries for barter!
And I think you have just had a stroke of genius with the battery idea. I wish I had thought of it! Maybe I will stock up a closet full of matches. You can fit a lot of matches in a closet.

Attack-cat, I don't intend to make light of what you are saying. But in THAT kind of disaster, I am not going to be one of those ultra-prepared types that (if in the movies) would be driving around ruling the cities with their automatic weapons and spiked armor. It's just not in my nature. If things get so bad you can't even get matches or toilet paper, my family will high-tail it to the remotest woods we can find and live like the birds & bears... off what we can scrounce. (If we survive the initial desctruction, that is.) If something like that happens, I wonder how many of us will be left, anyway.
