Thank you, Andy. (I couldn’t get over the irony of your surname: “death-born”!) I agree entirely with your grim prognosis and suggestions for coping with it. The only thing I would add is this: strive to make friends with your immediate neighbors, whether you like them or not! When the s—-hits the fan, the neighbors you know will be your best friends, while the neighbors you’ve never met may become your worst enemies. Grow gardens, grow community, and grow awareness.
