From the Desk of John Rourke – October 14th, 2024

We recently lost power for well over 24 hours. In fact, as I type this the power is still out. No biggie. Cooking chicken and veggies on the grill. Genny running the freezer and fridge as well as a few other things. Starlink still providing internet so I’ll know if zombies πŸ§Ÿβ€β™‚οΈ start roaming the streets.

The cause was a large windstorm blowing through. Thousands in the region lost power and with so many linemen helping with the hurricanes that caused so much destruction down South, repairs here in Maine are going slow.

Came across this great deal on ammo cans at Tractor Supply. The construction looked excellent with great welds and a good seal. I’ve seen some in various stores that were horribly made.

Blogging has certainly changed. Several years ago during the Sandy Hook event, I had over 4,000 visitors daily. Now? I have around 150. While I’ll admit I’m not posting at the same consistency as I did back then I will say we are at a critical time in our lives that preparation should be pivotal. Basically, we here at 1776 should be having several thousand visitors daily – reading, discussing, and planning together.

What has changed? Big business came into preparedness several years ago and has taken over with flashy websites and paid advertising that prioritizes search engines to send people to those paying the most money.

I have no paid advertising.

On top of that email providers(such as Microsoft and Google) will take emails on new posts to subscribers and put them in a “sales” or ” promotions” section rather than priority viewing. This basically makes it difficult for people to see the content that I create – even if the person who visits here wants to see it.

To summarize, the deck is stacked against small publishers like me who refuse to pay search engines and marketing companies.

The solution?Β 

I don’t know. I’m really impressed with Telegram and the functionality it offers. If you have any suggestions feel free to comment and offer it. I have a few things in the works.

My goal all along has been to reach as many like-minded folks as possible. That’s still my goal and in these trying times it’s even more important.

I find myself really watching each penny I spend. With the economic hardships we are facing and what I believe is coming every penny of spending power is important. Whether it’s bags of ice or bags of rice I’ll shop around for the best deal possible. Deals such as Amazon Prime events I’ll watch for best prices and I’m finding Facebook Marketplace a great place to find bargains.

I’ve had goals to complete by the end of this year and it’s looking pretty good. Will be reevaluating goals soon and will set new ones to target next summer.
