4. Nice, but someone's going to have to go through those supplies for what

can be used. It sounds unlikely that he would be organized and economically able to keep the food and medical supplies, especially, up to date.

Even our little stores, nothing like that, require attention to rotating that we occasionally flub a bit, and we only buy extras of things we'll use anyway within their expiration period, such as a years' worth of canned spinach. Even duct tape, a wonderful item to stock, deteriorates with time.

By the way, rice and beans are fairly inexpensive, together make a complete protein, and can last years properly stored, rice especially, even if they do lose some nutritional value over time. Fill a lidded plastic bin with unopened bags, add some packages of salt and sugar; and seal up with the duct tape.

5. Reminds me of this quote

From Tremors:

[Burt Gummer looks at his bomb shelter for perhaps the last time]

Burt Gummer: Food for five years, a thousand gallons of gas, air filtration, water filtration, Geiger counter. Bomb shelter! Underground... God damn monsters.

Substitute bank for monsters.

6. Yes, for him the god-damn monster turned out to be unpaid debt.

It has a way of coming for you, all right, and no one's safe from it even in their own homes.

But I'm very fond of that movie, in spite of the god-damn monsters. We spent decades camping in far canyons and ridges of that desert, practically raised our kids out there. That's our desert.

7. I'm a big fan of all the Tremors movies and the schlocky TV series

Even the last one set in South Africa is one I can watch.

But the original one and all the ones set in the same desert are my favorites. I've even been known to yell during other movies - "Those are the rocks from Tremors!"

It's almost as bad as spotting Star Trek Rock (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasquez_Rocks).

[Hortensis]

8. Oh, yes! Us too! Look, look! Red Rock Canyon!

I did a little appraising in the Agua Dulce area behind Vasquez Rocks, and other places out there, including one back in some hills at the end of a dirt road in a sand wash where I had to get out of the car a couple times and shoo quail out of the way. Long drive out from LA, but I took the assignments for the fun of getting out there and hiking around.

I'm going to have to find that old Star Trek episode. Forgot all about it.
