Has No Life - Lives on TB
Have had this nagging thought:
If I had to go, right now, how long would it take me to be gone?
What would I take?
What would you hate to have to leave behind?
I've got the recommended stuff packed up, of course, and even with that head-start I wonder if I'd be able to pull off shorter than an hour preparation to get gone.
Something is niggling my subconscious, something's not quite right; and I need to figure out what that is. I'm beginning to wonder if it's something that can't be 'loaded up'... something non-material.
I've gotten out of the way of Hurricanes and suchlike in the past, in mere hours; but I took hours because the threat was a known timeframe away. The biggest concern in that situation was getting up the road before the mass of humanity clogged every highway and byway. During one strategic relocation, I took a bit too long boarding up the property, and almost ran into the problem of traffic jams and no fuel on the route. The Gasbuddy app enabled us to find the last gas station with fuel within a multi-mile radius; and they closed within 5 minutes of our fill-up... The traffic was horrendous, and a usual 8 hour drive took 16...
I know some folks are not planning on going anywhere, and of course that's all right and totally cool too. Fantastic, in fact! But at the present time it's still a requirement for us.
It feels like we're on the cusp of something big... and I'm not ready. ETA: and 'ready' may not even be possible.
Got some work to do.
