lessons from Covid-19

It started in China. Never forget that. Just like SARS. It killed Uncle Bob (Robert John Fisher Jr. 1937-2021. Multiple tours in Vietnam on seek and destroy missions. Lived 50 years in Southern California, Vista. Bess memories of sunny days at Bob and Barb's pool, he always had his shirt off, drinking Sam Adams or Guinness beer, the deck grill going. Great man. 

-Stock up. Especially on things that get used a lot and don't go bad, like toilet paper. Very necessary to have on hand. In times of despair, hygenine is actually one the biggest issues. Decreases unnecessary trips to the store. Saves time, buy in bulk and save money. Why not. No chemical stuff, except for sanitizer. Sometimes it is necessary to kill the virus. 

-often times in despair the most needed items aren't machine guns, high capacity magazines, and armor piercing ammunition. Water, heat, food, and sanitary items and the most needed. Home is generally the best place to be. Shelter is best sought on your own property, defended by you. Your next best bet is mobile shelter (SUV/Truck). But, they run out of gas/charge, and your stuck. And if everyone else is smiling town, you better not get in the bottleneck. Prepare for summer in the winter, replace your roof when it's sunny outside. Save the most when you make the most. 

-flash lights (USB rechargeable currently). Solar panel. USB cords. Power storage (USB drive). Water filters. Kleenex and toilet paper, paper towels. A heat source (fireplace, plug in heater, small propane heater). Wool socks (darn tough, guaranteed for life). Wool clothes or quick dry synthetic (Patagonia and REI). Snow boots , various jackets, and pants that are warm, shed water). Cash , various currency.

Reputation is a dangerous word. Your perception is not the same as realiity. So trying to protect your reputation is dangerous, cause your desired outcome will not be the same as the outside perception. Your being causes for good reason , sometimes a gut feeling, but perceived as lazy. Be careful when trying to protect your reputation. Understand the reputation of others, it's often true, or there is some truth to it, beware.  There are two ways to fill a hole. The right way, and every other way. The point is sometimes you just need to fill a hole.  In Jr. High, I had a horrible experience. Probably the first tramadic event I had ever experienced. I was told a fellow wrestler who I was aware of, our rival, was going to fight me. He was coming to my school on Friday cause he heard I called him a racist name. He was tougher than me, and would beat me. My next step after I got done shaking, was to assemble as many of my friends as possible to back me up. Then every single person I ask

Sons of Anarchy: S5 E6 Small World

 -(R) Blippi is a great business case study. Low capital, high volume, monetization. Very crowded field, but original, and filled a huge void. Easy, no big production, always easy and appropriate, and even beneficial.  - Don't watch until age 21. Don't have enough life experience to relate. Wife, kids, meeting a diverse group of older people. You can't relate, so don't try and emulate. Love , loss, grief, and emotions you don't know , make you unrelateble. These emotions only harden with time, and when you are twice as old, will be twice as intense.  -Do it the right way, with the right people, there is no risk. Awesome. But if it could cause you to be in prison or die, it's probably not worth doing.  - It is a small world. People are observant. It's likely you will cross paths again. Make connections, be known. Allies are key. You never know how you may cross paths again. Be helpful. Stay in touch. Be mindful of crossing someone.  -Sometimes people ask some

Principals for the trust. Mandatory reading required for all recipients. Acknowledge each one.  Guiding principals  Credit to Gmas Fisher little books. mention all the family and everything I know and site my sources.  Every man is the sum total of his reactions to experience. As your experiences differ and multiply, you become a different man, and hence your perspective changes. This goes on and on... So it would seem foolish, would it not, to adjust our lives to the demands of a goal we see from a different angle every day? How could we ever hope to accomplish anything... The answer, then, must not deal with goals at all... We do not strive to be firemen, we do not strive to be bankers, nor policemen, nor doctors. WE STRIVE TO BE OURSELVES. But don’t misunderstand me. I don’t mean that we can’t BE firemen, bankers, or doctors...but that we must make the goal conform to the individual, rather than make the individual conform to the goal... Beware of looking for goals: look for a way o
