CNN asks: “Vancouver Too Perfect?

Vancouver boasts that it has it all, and many who live here on a sunny day like today will agree:

The outward-bound nature of the place is happily countered by a laid-back vibe — this is the West Coast after all — where pockets of hippie counterculture exists with counterculture of the consumer variety.

With all the tension and negative press regarding gang violence, isn’t nice to stop for a moment and realize that we still live an enviable life in one of the world’s most remarkable settings?

Apparently I like to cheers the camera. Well, suppose it’s usually my wife. Cheers just seems to capture the moment so well.

So, here goes:

9 Things you can do to Survive an Economic Depression

Summit Seeker — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:33:08 +0000

This is by no means a definitive list, nor is it entirely serious. I’m just thinking out loud here: What should I do to survive an Economic Depression? I realize, as I create my list, that I’m not well equipped should our entire economic system come collapsing down.

Here are 9 ideas for Surviving a Depression:

1. Develop a taste for Pork & Beans on toast.

2. Convert cash to gold.

3. Stuff cash in mattress.

4. Bury cash in back yard. (I don’t have a backyard)

5. Learn how to start fire without lighter or matches

6. Stockpile vitamins.

7. Learn how to grow vegetables.

8. Learn how to like vegetables.

9. Potable Water. Enough Said.

All that being said, I really like Jacques Sprenger’s more serious take on the subject.
