Is it Hot in Here?

When I was a teenager, I loved to read books like Stephen King's The Stand, which describes a post-apocalyptic world with most people dying out from an epidemic, and the ensuing struggle for survival. I loved to see human ingenuity solving the problems at hand and I imagined what I would do in such a situation. I was also drawn to the Amish way of life, stripped down to the bare essentials, but retaining what is important. I often thought about what such a simple, hard working, self-sufficient life would be like.

It seems I might get to experience aspects of both these worlds in my lifetime. Please read this.
