Welcome to the forum

Or otherwise it will turn out to be a land-mine landscape.

Write. I used to then stopped. But there have been people (person ) who has inspired to again expressing my thoughts on paper (yes, evn enough to put actual pen to paper!)

Write to your hearts content. Expression of the human spirit and experience is always appreciated.

And yes, use spell checker!

terrex

I find Microsoft Office Word as the best software to use when writing. I always write first on Word, and then allow the program to check spelling and phrase composition before I post.

Hawaii; how some of us survived the Tsunami:

We heard the Sirens go off near dawn. In Hawaii, most communication is by radio, not TV. A neighbor called me about what happened in Japan. The Hawaiian authorities may have the best warning system in the world, so we knew that we had a few hours to prepare.

In my neighborhood, a group of us (a dozen) usually camp out about monthly on a Saturday night. The private property is owned by a liquor store owner that allows us to camp. The campsite is on high ground on an inactive Volcano and we faced the opposite direction from Japan.

I have a large travel van, so we all piled into it with our camping gear and emergency kits. I drove the 3 mile trek. We got there near daylight (when the Tsunami hit) and set up camp.

There was nothing that we could do but wait. It was going on
Saturday for us, so we caught up on our lost sleep and some brought pen and paper or laptops to record this historical event.

We could not get through to CS on our laptops because of weak signals. All of us brought crank emergency radios so that we could listen to the news and music.

As evening approached, the men went out to gather firewood and the women prepared for dinner.

We built a campfire and ate.

When it got dark, we stated to play games.

The first on was round table campfire. It goes from person to person in the circle and everyone tells a story…some tell Ghost stories.

Then we played the campfire game “Wink”. We used 12 sticks with 1 being short. The dealer hands out the sticks in a way that no one can see who gets the shorter stick and is the one that the rest of us are looking for. The object of the game is to go around and stare each other in the eyes with a poker face.

If you think that you have found the person with the shorter stick, you wink at them. If they are not that person, they wink back and you must lie on your back; and are out of the game.

We had plenty of this survival item because the property owner stocks liquor.
