Money, and Other Problems

As I was driving to the market today, listening to a local call-in radio station, a caller was talking about when the terrorists attacked America on 9/11. He said he worked down the street from the the towers that were hit. When that happened he wanted to take his family and money, and flee to Canada, only four hours away. His thinking was that the towers were hit, the Pentagon was hit, and he was afraid that the nuclear power plant would be hit. He went to his bank and asked that his CDs be cashed in. The teller said that his CDs were traded on the stock market, the market was closed, so he couldn't cash them in. This caller was trying to get across to the listeners that there will be unexpected obstacles when there is a need to bug-out. I am sure that there are many little things, that could actually end up being big things, that will go wrong when times get bad. The caller was urging people to be as prepared as possible, for anything possible. How prepared are you?
