Is Yellowstone About to Blow?

Here's a good article on the earthquake in Yellowstone today. Surprisingly, Oklahoma experienced multiple earthquakes today also.

Experts are saying there is no eminent danger of the whole thing going, but stepping back from the emotionalism of TEOTWAWKI or SHTF, we know that really, no one knows.

California also experienced earth quakes recently. Some say, due to the Andreas Fault line, Los Angeles is doomed to sink.

I'm about to leave this area for a job in Maine. Is it because of the unstable environment living above the crater of a volcano? Nope. I'm more than just a survivalist, I'm Thrivalist....seeking the best and most awesome living circumstances possible, while we still have the resources to do it.

after a little research on the new health care Market Place insurance programs, I'd like to encourage all seasonal workers and minimum wage recipients to check out the link.
The open enrollment ends tomorrow, but there are ways to enroll afterwards if your current private plan is about to renew.

Crushed and Disappointed

Let me reiterate:
Never, never, never use American Auto Transport or any "broker" to ship your car from Anchorage to the lower forty-eight.


Wrightway Auto Carriers, located at 101 W. Whitney Rd., in Anchorage, Alaska are the people who do all the work. You call them up and they'll tell you everything you need to know, hours, time, price. Phone number is 907-277-4549.


They'll tell you the shuttle numbers from the Seattle Airport to the Tacoma Port, which is Horizon Lines.


My experience with a "broker" is so negative. They did no work, yet charged me $200 on my American Express. All this is in dispute.


So, if you ever need to get your car shipped out of Alaska, give Wrightway Auto Carriers your business, person to person. They are very helpful and great to talk to.

Vital Signs and Updates

A whole list of projects have been accomplished just in time to head out to my spring hike which is prior to checking into my perfect job.


First off, a physical and blood work was done to assure my new employer, Maine Appalachian Trail Club, that I am in excellent health and able to accomplish my range of tasks. The blood work tested potassium, kidney function, and more, plus delivered four numbers dealing with Cholesterol. In order to truly understand what those number meant I used the Cholesterol LDL-HDL Ratio Calculator .

This allows you to get the ratio of good to bad blood fats, and see if your triglycerides are normal. Once I plugged all them in, I got instant feedback, resulting in Ideal for my profile.


My blood pressure, body fat, pulse, strength was all approved and in great shape! So, Maine here I come.


Also, I finished book five of the River Survival Series, entitled, Delivered.
Over the last months I have edited and reformatted all of my books, including fiction and non fiction so they are available for print on demand and have appropriate chapter breaks for the digital readers.

I'll try to get the cover posted here, but our low bandwidth makes it difficult. Maybe in the morning!
Over the course of my writing career, I've learned many things. With the fictional TEOTWAWKI  The River Survival Series, it seems a whole other world has been created, so real, I actually miss the characters when I'm not writing about them. Some women knit, I write. Its a hobby and a passion.
The non fictional cookbooks and backpacking books allow me to share things I've learned along the way. Its my hope others can benefit from these works.


I've also learned that the best way to buy Greyhound bus tickets is to go to the nearest station and pay for them and have them print them out right there while you wait. I'm here near Livingston, but bought tickets for New Mexico.

Happy trails. A favorite saying of mine, "If you're not living life on the edge, you're taking up too much room."
