Well it is official, we can no longer buy gasoline. I am forced to work from home and to grow my own food. I am lucky that the majority of my family is nearby and that I am able to still keep in contact with most of them.
We have taken to bartering and sharing with the neighbors, anything from food to clothing to skills when things go wrong. Those with clothing and mending skills are helping those that can in turn help with carpentry and animal raising. The whole it takes a village idea is coming back full force. I now understand the gravity of the feeling of desperation that must have been felt during the depression, yet the abundance of community is overwhelming as well.
We can only hope that the situation is rectified soon and that we can all go back to some semblance of the reality that we were used to before the gas/oil was not restricted.
