Those of you --remember the idylic decades of the 40's 50's and 60's?? The end of a war, everyone off to the suburbs, full of optimism, and high visions of the future. The weather was steady, predictable, and prosperity seemed within everyone's grasp. Inventions bombarded us, as new cars --every year a new model, trade your old one in. 2.6 children, a pet and a home with a yard. Television became a household member, and electronics were born, with marvels everywhere one looked. Computers were coming, ready or not, and many appliances had them in already, however primitive. The microchip changed the world. Satellites --onward, upward!!!
Then things have changed. The weather is no longer reliable. That which we had taken for granted is no longer. We are not safe on our shores or in our homes. We must become flexible and responsible for our surroundings. No longer can we afford to leave rotting bodies in buildings for months, as had been done during hurricane Katrina.
