Which brings is back to Event 201. 
I thank God everyday that we're fortunate enough to have a small amount of an emergency fund, I'm back at work, we have insurance, and a decent stash of food, maintenance meds, and if necessary weapons. Although we don't have a fancy house, it's good enough for us.
IF society in this country hasn't imploded within the next few months, I'm either going to take advantage of the penalty tax exemption and raid my 401k in the amount just shy of the next tax bracket, and the rest will be going into stable asset and bonds funds in my 401k. It's not a sure thing with the stable value funds, but at least I'm going to try to play it safe for a 55 year old man.
If it comes down to it, I have quite a few metal halide and high pressure sodium lamps with multitap ballasts I got on a barter deal years ago. I'm not above turning a bathroom into a vegetable garden! Between that and the wildlife on our land and 3 wells, we'll manage.
Things are so much in flux now. Then suddenly the Justice Department determines what most of us felt/ knew. Gen. Michael Flynn got railroaded.
Even with 4 more years I think the swamp still may not get drained.

There are 3 loves in my life: my wife, my English mastiffs, and my weightlifting....Man, my wife gets really pissed when I get the 3 confused...
