Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #153

Fellow Patriots,

Greetings and welcome to the Patriot Express Newsletter Edition #153. Thanks for stopping by to spend a few minutes with us. It is great to have you with the HFS family. We are doing our best to keep you informed and prepared for events that could impact your life daily.

Just when we thought things couldn't get any crazier, we see our gas prices escalating daily when we are a nation blessed with plenty of energy opportunities. We send billions of dollars to foreign countries while Americans continue to struggle coming out of two years of Covid-19 destruction and strangulation. The sad part is millions continue to believe things will get better through the hands of others instead of taking the bull by the horns and getting prepared. This doesn't mean stopping by your local 21 flavor happy stand for king sized cones of debt and corruption. If you haven't noticed, it's on every corner now.

It was a great week for HFS. We had a great group meeting with our local community where 12 preparedness minded Patriots gathered to move forward learning preparedness skills. It was great to meet our new neighbors from the local area. Then HFS conducted a satellite phone working group that evening to begin the framework for a HFS alerting system to keep fellow Patriots aware of essential events occurring around the nation. We have worked on the alerting system all week and hope to have it ready to deploy soon. Behind the scenes we also have working groups developing a HFS Food Calculator and HFS Group team leader development. It seems we never have a dull moment, and this is good. To cap things off, we celebrated Ms. Lucy's birthday with a nice dinner and praline cheesecake smothered in warm caramel. Then later in the week Ms. Lucy pulled a fresh roast beef out of the freezer that I haven't had time to can yet. She fixed a Mississippi Roast that beyond description. After a slow cooked day in the crock pot smothered in peppers, powered ranch dressing, and some seasoning, at serving time the roast would have made a vegetarian slobber. It was so good. Have you noticed I love talking about food?

Okay, let us move along.

Just for fun...
