A lot of the dead weight I’ve been carrying around for more then 15 years evaporated over the weekend. The 900+ pounds of hard winter wheat (nitrogen packed), the 200 pounds of beans and other legumes, and some powdered milk, etc all left for a new home via Craig’s List. The guilt and weirdness went with it too.
Gone is the fear my mother instilled in her children, “Not to let the neighbor children play in our basement anywhere near the food storage so that when chaos broke loose in the world they wouldn’t come and kill our family for it.” A good Mormon friend did think I should keep it around for bartering though-LOL
Having some food storage on hand is probably a good idea BUT it’s just too weird to me for now and getting rid of it was just one more way of saying, “See you later suckers”!
