This week I explained the "why" of my long absence. That also leads us to how "Real Life" gives us a lot of opportunities to use our prepping skills. Sometimes it is not always a national disaster that kicks things into motion. It can be a personal one as well. It is even more important to be prepared in those cases too. This was a classic example of the positive value of not only planning but using and working that plan, to be ready for the curve balls that life throws. I had someone ask if we teach other than CHL classes. (!) Yes, we have a full roster of classes. Please click the link at the bottom to get to the webpage for a full list. Finally, the rabid ghost of Prop 114 still haunts the halls of Salem and efforts are still underway to make the Oregon Constitution read "Void where prohibited".  Your positive ongoing action is needed. (One final note: I discuss being sick with COVID during our move. I want to repeat that we did notify everyone involved in  advance and took extra precautions to avoid making others sick, No negative after-effects were reported.)
