A most excellent story, all the better because it has such a sense of authenticity.

The late Patience (Jerry Conrad) is one of my favorite authors. The people, places and situations are such that I wonder how many were from real life - I've certainly know a few that would match ;-) His stories include Dirty Money, From the Bottom Up, Not Quite Eden, Told Ya So and Transitions - my apologies if I missed some.
He also wrote under the name Machinist on some other forums.

I think you'll find that applies to all of Patience's stories.

Great story. Sorry to hear that the author has passed. I bet I've read all of his stuff at least three times. We're lucky to've gotten as many stories as have been posted. |

Very much agree on the "at least". I'm grateful for what we have but I could have dealt with another 20 or 30 stories of that caliber. |

I'm grateful for what we have but I could have dealt with another 20 or 30 stories of that caliber. Yeah, it's as if we all hope that somebody'll find a bunch of his stuff stashed away somewhere. Then again, sir, as you know, I put you in the same class. If one of his stories ever turns up unfinished, you'd be the one I'd hope to see complete it. If I'd had a chance to sit and have a beer with him and yourself, I imagine it would've been a real treat. Since I probably haven't said it in too long, thanks for what you've shared with us. Just wish I could've said the same to Machinist, but he passed before I joined the board. Rob J |

Thanks folks. I mostly had 2 things in mind: 1) Explore another way this could end, and 2) Look at what happens when relatives/non-preppers descend on us. Yes, it is a very optimistic view of both those issues. Maybe it will help somebody think about these things and be ready for them. I guess I was working on writing more about people/less about preps, and learning to characterize, too. Hopefully the prep angles worked in sensibly. Thank You so much for that story patience. I really enjoyed it. |

Great story. Sorry to hear that the author has passed. Oh. So sad to hear that. Those stories were up there with the Greats of PAW fiction IMHO. I hope patience is swapping ideas, yarns and stories with the likes of TOM and Fleataxi around some fire somewhere. Vale patience. |
