It wasn't that long ago, as you measure time, that we lived with a coal burning furnace, that Dad had to stoke at night before he went to bed, then again in the morning before he left for work.
We had a kerosene tank in the basement and Mom would go down with the tank from the kitchen stove and fill it from the basement tank.
Our car burned gasoline which was newer than coal or Kerosene and soon would be the darling of the world, along with diesel oil.
This was all in the long ago. Have you thought about what it would be like without oil to supply our modern society? What if, is an interesting question, .....could you catch and skin a fox for dinner and roast it over a wood fire? The skills of the pioneers are not with all of us, so what if we had to?
What if we lost all power?
Once long ago, we could raise a chicken for food, kill it and hang it for the proper amount of time, pluck out the feathers and .....oh dear....I would starve, wouldn't you?
Have you seen our Guinea Hens, they rove the neighborhood..and return at night...they are adorable as they grace our end of town...hope you like seeing them, if not I hope you don't grab one for dinner!
