"Was there a point?"
Been future-proofing for so long. Things may becoming hard to get soon, or so the grapevines seem to be 'singing.' Here's an example of something I had already accumulated into my setups, which, who knows, may become useful as time keeps marching forward:
Two of these double-sided diamond whetstones. I'm not a pro at using them yet, but I am learning.
But where do we go from here? Well, I've had some long running ideas brewing in some back-burning parts of my mind. One idea is that of 'tribalism.' I don't know if we may end up in some sort of trajectory in that direction. If it goes that way, I may yet regret my lack of having a 'Mesh network' device in my setups as yet. But I do have some resources to offer if we end up in some tribalism state of community affair.
Another long running idea I've had is that 'information' should be 'free.' Insofar as this goes, I guess at this point, I am sticking to my guns right now, in offering some of my works by way of this blog, for example. I try to be legit more often than not, these days, in my relationship with the world-at-large.
There are some things I really should be doing already at this point, such as growing some vegetables on my own now, which I haven't put energy into yet.
I hope society doesn't resort to a survival mode, from a collapse of the governmental systems or whatnot. But I think I have kept such possibilities in mind. I still haven't had success in setting up any independent source of self sustaining income. That flusters me, more than I'd like, to be honest.
I don't think I have any other notables I'd like to share, right now. But we may end up a little more 'in this together' than we've been up till now, at some point.
Keep on moving on, for now.
And it's a work day for me today :P.
