I think I do need to start preparing. If nothing else it will give me peace of mind to feel a little less vulnerable. One problem is I don’t have money to go invest in supplies. Shit costs money. But maybe I need to make a list of things to start buying.

I don’t know how it is down there, but up here there’s a lot of talk about “the big one” It’s fucking scary. We live in an apartment complex that’s falling apart. We’re also in an area vulnerable to landslides. We’re at the bottom of a ridge.

I am thinking I need to look for a survival class or something and start learning that. If me and my son are by ourselves we need to be able to survive. I think what has me the most scared is knowing that I wouldn’t know what to do to ensure our survival. I think I really need to put some thought into this and be prepared…like you said.

One thing I don’t understand is why they say you should stay put after an earthquake…isn’t that stupid if you’re in a structure that has just been damaged and may fall on you? They assume your house will be in tact. But what if it’s not? Where do you go then??
