G'day friend.

I was the first to reply to your original thread. I feel I need to reply now.

I wish your grandson a safe return home. I do understand your concerns and fears.

Your post was unsettling to me. I guess the words "war", "ICBMs", "riots", "no infrastracture" tend to be unsettling as surely you would understand.

I had a father who was a POW on the Burma Railway for almost the whole of the second world war. In fact my father was in the ditches in Singapore being attacked before Pearl Harbour was attacked. He survived. Well, I guess you call it survive. He made it back here after those years so I guess that was survival. Here I am. I keep surviving because of him, a man I never knew. I don't want to prepare for ICBMs, frankly because it wouldn't do any good.

Heck, tell me more about your ingenious fireplace. Tell me more about your tricks for keeping food safe in times of drought and floods.

Please don't imagine that we here don't understand the state of the world or think about the future.
