My skills are mostly information based, as it happens. I think that, were I left on my own now, I would be toast.

This is why, for me, it's very important to build communities wherever I go. If I need a skill, I will need someone to teach it to me.

While there are so many conflicting theories about peak oil, I have no idea what the city will be like after that. I have a feeling it'll resemble the Depression era in more ways than one. While I don't especially want to be an urbanite under those circumstances, if I happen to be living in the city when it happens, well, I'll just suck it up and deal as best I can. No other way about it.
