Prepper Thoughts after the #TropicalStorm Barry Mobilization.

Image
( From Cap Black Social Media ): Thoughts after the #TropicalStorm Barry Mobilization. #Collectiveconsciousness radiated terse expectations regarding what this former Category One hurricane and tropical storm would do when it arrived in New Orleans. Of all words spoken and typed about this event, one I didn't see or hear was, #prepper. It often conjures connotations of militarists, cultists and survivalists, among other ominous " ists " in skeptical minds. Sweeping store closures and mass buying underscored the very real need of folks to have  food, water and other supplies independent of what government and big nonprofits offer in time consuming times of need.

Those in the know, know that I'm a long-term one man street patrol doing quiet crime prevention and homeless outreach on the streets, not from office suites. Sometimes I've had people join me but usually I'm a solo act. Shepherds of the City has been echoing louder and louder in my mind for some time but I fought heeding its call until nearly a week ago when acceptance beat avoidance. An overwhelming conviction to do so took over and I took action. Did I mention this Shepherds of the City vision called for me to walk with a staff in hand reminiscent of Charlton Heston's portrayal of Moses in the Ten Commandments movie? I'm old school and very low key, despite improbable beliefs like fictional superheroes can serve...
