Just got the following email at work. Haven't talked to him in a couple weeks, and he just sent this out of the blue... it's actually a lot less weird than a lot of the stuff he tells me.

Hi Tyler,

How is it going with you?
I was just reading my e-mail and thought I'd write you.
If the world goes to hell or what ever and we can't communicate for some strange reason, I'll leave instructions for you should you be able to get here, in the house by the back door, in case we are not here. Also if you have access to a CB radio, try channel 23 at 10:00 am and 10:00 pm. I don't want to sound alarmest but the way the government is going we will be attacked sometime in the near future. Also, you should keep a large can of gas in reserve.

So what subjects are you taking in college this term? What kind of grades are you getting? Been doing anything interesting lately? Drop me a line.

Your Father

Let me guess - he is part of the 24% of the population that went out and bought duct tape, plastic wrap, bottled water, and canned food right?

No, he's intelligent enough to realize that duct tape and platic wrap aren't going to do crap in case of an attack. He's been buying huge batteries, solar panels, generators, wood stoves, bulk gasoline, etc. for years, though....

LoL, does your father suffer from paranoia? Maybe you should have him see a psychologist.

If you don't like your dad I'll take him. I think survivalist dudes are cool.

Survivalist isn't the half of it, just wait until he starts talking about history..... It goes back about 5000 years, is based loosely on the old testament, and other Jewish stories (no, he's not Jewish), and has his own ideas thrown in for fun... and he'll talk for hours and hours about it if you let him.

Apaprently, there's a passage somewhere in the bible that says something like "and the gods came down from heaven and took for thier wives the daughters of men"... guess what he thinks that means?

Weird is okay. At least he talks to you. At least he's asking if there is anything new. My dad would never, ever consider such a question for fear that I might say yes , and then maybe elaborate.

I'm deploying the B Team now. We have a confirmed location of the suspect.

Yeah me too. Seriously though, I could really use a set of solar panels right now.
