What's Your Post-Peak Profession?
To answer quickly, I don't what mine is...yet. Any ideas?
I've been feverishly submitting resumes online this evening, hoping to land a second job. Again, I don't need it...not if things stay as they are...but I've waited too long...now I've got to do what I can with whatever time is available to ensure my future, and be able to help secure the future for my family, even though they now seem further away than ever.
Everyone is missing the big picture...Oil is used to manufacture so many things, that the ripple effect is too great for the "sheeple" to wrap their minds around. Right now, everyone is focused on Gasoline prices. Just wait until that blood pressure medication you need to keep your Big Mac Loving Fat Backside alive is unavailable due to supply disruptions six months (weeks??) from now...that is when the real message will hit home for most, and then, it will be too late.
I need to be strong, and I need to maintain a pre-peak and post-peak skill-set to allow me to adjust to a different life...I've been looking all over online for any type of idea...My skills are all computer and business oriented. I can work with my hands...I can cook very well...I have an engineering background...a green thumb...I'll keep an eye on the oil prices and media blitz to see if I need to start in another line of work.
I figure my current skill set will carry me through the $8/gallon mark...At $5.50 per gallon, it is economically feasible for my family to start distilling Ethanol at home...they have lots of land, and while I have no interest in growing anything, I can buy molasses in bulk and make my own Ethanol once a month, up there. I guess that's one good thing about having a house in the middle of a bunch of fields...Molasses is available from the local co-op and the feed mill.
The gas station down the street just started selling E85, and I found a company where I can convert my car to run on E85 here, for around $700. As this car might have to last me a LONG time, this doesn't seem like a bad idea...supposed to be better for your engine. Maybe I can learn how to install these for people?

Well, I'm numb...My mind is reeling with the possibilities...For just a few minutes, I need to go downstairs in front of my massive TV and watch a movie to take my mind off of this for a while. Ignorance is bliss.

Don't bother with E85 or CNG...
You might just dig your bicycle out of the garage and get it and yourself into shape.
A used motorcycle or moped could also be used to get around town without using much fuel.
