And I will still be reading and commenting blogs. The way I see it, if I have too little time for both, I'd better be reading than writing. healingmagichands: I hope I am wrong too. In any case, even if I am right, history shows that collapse does not happen overnight - it generally takes a couple of years for the economy to be completely wrecked. Talking about LETS, I believe it deserves all your attention. All the more so as in this system, the value of some good or service is generally reckoned by assessing how much time it took to make or to provide. This would fit nicely with your philosophy of money. Becky: there will be short updates. And I will still be reading and commenting blogs.

I will miss your presence. Plus I am looking at the idea of the LETS and thinking that would not be such a bad idea to get started here locally. If you are right, we will all be engaging in a barter economy soon enough. I certainly hope you are wrong about the pending economic collapse. But I'm not so sure that you are. There certainly are enough terrible things going on to make one very worried. Good bye and good luck!

I do not like how he ranks his final advice though (like stash cash first then turn to your neighbor). My personal course of action is to make my community tighter and more resilient (as well as more informed, so that we are not sitting stupidly not knowing what hit us). Indeed it is.

I'll look forward to updates even if they are infrequent. I ought to mention that the Chris Martenson link you had provided was quite an eye-opener for me. I watched the entire crash course and its message is sobering to say the least. All the best in your efforts with the LETS. I’ll look forward to updates even if they are infrequent.

In fact, I do not think I can stop writing here altogether. There's at least one more post I have to write soon. And will probably comment on my project too, but it'll be short posts. For the big picture, you'll have to go over to <a href="http://www.arpentnourricier.org" rel="nofollow">my other blog</a> (and learn to read French.) Don’t worry, I’ll certainly stay around.
