    I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Not because I had never heard of the possibility but rather because I guess I never completely wrapped my head around how weird it would be for our society to address the lack of electricity completely.

    I only know four people in my area that are proficient on horseback, glad my wife is one of them... You?

    Mules man! I'm a sucker for a big ol' mix breed. (None of the following are mine.) Good friends breed "hunting/pack/trail" mules. Extremely versatile and rugged - plowing too.

    Huge chunk of the sun blew off and heading our way.

    I'm more concerned with this chunk of energy coming our way in the next few weeks...leaving a massive coronal hole.
