May21 Project: Day 24 - Monday June 13, 2011. (Posted June 26 -- Well I was finally able to get back on line. Mostly it’s been the power being on and off and the ISP we have has had problems. I’ll post some of the main stuff that has been going on.)
Well it’s been a while and a lot has happened. We did have some problems getting home. It took a few days to get a flight. So many flights were just being canceled. We finally got a flight to Wichita, got stuck there for a few days and then ended up getting stranded in Las Vegas, and had to BUY a car to finally get home. None of the Car rental companies would do a one way… so we bought a 1981 Town and Country station wagon for $500.
For all practical purposes the air lines have stopped commercial flights, and the only ones available are for Military or Government personnel. The State or federal government has not declared martial law, but it’s just a matter of time.
The good thing about having to drive from Nevada was I was able to stop at 4-5 Sporting goods stores and pick up a lot of ammo. It has just been scarce in California.
The drive was also an eye opener. As we got down toward LA before tuning up to the San Jose area, you started to see lots of cars and truck packed like the Beverly Hill Billies. I guess folks are starting to flee some of the big cities.
I don’t think it’s that desperate yet, but we were glad to get home and see that thinks were kinda normal. There is still food being delivered to the stores, and the power is still on.
