People should be planning for winter now. We need to remember, electricity, indoor plumbing, etc wasn't around when our forefathers created our great country. Now is the time to seek out alternative ways to stay warm, (make quilts from old clothes, sheets and blankets, make fire starters out of lint and wax, prep for a fall garden, etc. We are stronger than we give ourselves credit. Start a weekly board game, puzzle or card game night with your family/friends, NO ELECTRONICS ALLOWED. This will ease family into being without internet/power if it is down.
Learn Morse Code. Print off the chart for the alphabet and practice. Same for American Sign Language. Practice cursive. We could be in a position to send notes and many would not be able to read what is written! (Have to admit, I do practice my penmanship on a weekly basis, otherwise, I could not even read my own grocery list! The nuns would be very disappointed and upset. ;)
