Be Prepared

After years, YEARS, of being told we should prepare.  Of being told we should have supplies in case the “big one” hits, or any other calamity or catastrophe unleashes itself on our community. I’ve often thought to myself, “Yeah, I need to do that,” because I would hate to have calamity or catastrophe happen and be “that guy.”  Besides, what does it hurt to plan?  Only not planning can hurt me.

We recently traveled to the Netherlands and Norway on a Portland Best Practices trip and then Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania on our TenBridge Baltic Bike Ride.  Finished up in Poland to visit family.  During the trip, we met with public officials and public sector leaders in the Netherlands and Norway.  We took tours of several beautiful and peaceful cities and had opportunities to share great food and beverages with many locals, and in general, absorb the land and the people.  Even though people in the Baltics have a stern exterior, they bloom like flowers when you engage with them in conversation!
