I miss the doctor I had in my previous town. We would talk a lot. I remember one time he asked about investing in gold and silver. I gave him the standard advice about having plenty of food and other supplies, and then put excess money into gold and silver as a store of value to use after SHTF when things might get back to normal. You can't talk to just anyone about things like that. I even had another doctor who was armed at the office. He was from up north, but he didn't take crap from anyone. He was a pretty good doctor.
