8/28/26 Winter

8/28/26 Winter WINTER IS FAST APPROACHING, AND A LOT CONCERNED ABOUT STAYING WARM THIS WINTER. WITH THE SUPER EL NINO THAT'S HITTING THE COUNTRY, I'M NOT QUITE SURE WHAT TO EXPECT HERE. I'M ANTICIPATING A DRYER THAN NORMAL WINTER. AND WE HAD A REALLY DRY WINTER LAST YEAR. IN FACT, THE DRYEST ON RECORD, THE LEAST AMOUNT OF SNOWFALL AND RAINFALL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. I AM THINKING THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE AREAS OF OUR COUNTRY THAT ARE GOING TO BE VERY COLD THIS YEAR, BELOW ZERO. SO IF WE HAVE A GRID FLUCTUATION, HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO STAY WARM? RIGHT NOW PURCHASE WOOL HATS, LIKE SKI HATS, WOOL GLOVES, WOOL SCARVES, AND WOOL SOCKS. I BOUGHT, THREE PAIR LAST YEAR FOR JANET. HER FEET GET COLD REALLY FAST. GET A TENT. PUT IT UP IN A CENTRAL LOCATION IN YOUR HOME. YOU ARE GOING TO USE THAT TENT TO ENCAPSULATE PEOPLE, ALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS, INCLUDING THE ANIMALS, CAN CONTAIN THE WARMTH. I WOULD RECOMMEND LINING THE INSIDE OF THE TENT WITH MYLAR BLANKETS WITH THE SHINY SIDE TOWARDS YOU SO THAT IT REFLECTS YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE. GET CRISCO CANDLES OR MAKE CRISCO CANDLES, BY GETTING A POUND TUB OF CRISCO, PUTTING A BEESWAX CANDLE CUT OFF SO THAT IT FITS JUST ABOVE THE CRISCO ITSELF INSIDE, LIGHTING THE PUTTING IT ON A BRICK PAVER OR PLATE. HAVING THAT IN THE ROOM, WARMING THE ROOM. REMEMBER, THIS IS A GRID DOWN SITUATION, GOING TO PROBABLY HAVE A BUDDY HEATER. OKAY. HAND WARMERS. GET THOSE. LAYER YOUR CLOTHING. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LIKE THIS, BUT YOU'RE PROBABLY GONNA HAVE TO EAT COLD FOOD. SO THOSE ARE SOME SUGGESTIONS. IF YOU HAVE A BATTERY POWERED HEATER, USE THAT. OF COURSE NOT. I WOULD USE IT OUTSIDE THE TENT TO WARM THE ROOM YOU'RE IN. HEATERS ALSO THAT YOU CAN MAKE. IS YOU PLACE IT AN INCH ABOVE YOU, RAISE IT AN INCH ABOVE TEA LIGHTS THAT ARE LIT AND DO THAT,, FLAMES INSIDE THE TENT. OF COURSE NOT. BUT YOU'RE GONNA BODY TEMPERATURE, TO WARM YOU AND THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. AND, AGAIN, I'M OTHER THINGS AND OTHER SUGGESTIONS. READ THE COMMENTS. THANK YOU.
