No changes for me. I will continue to expand my garden, work toward paying off the house early (albeit slower than originally pictured when we bought it because more money is going into improving it), deepen the pantry, and maintain and improve my skills. My wife and I are both on the path toward getting out EMTs and she'll eventually get her paramedic since it will take her only two additional weeks (she's already a CCRN).
I did have a positive conversation with a friend about prepping today, but it's more related to being single for the first time in her adult life at the age of 45 and realizing she'd been way too dependent on husbands and boyfriends her whole life. She's interested in converting a closet into a deep pantry with some other basic prepping needs covered (talking her into a bucket for hygiene/emergency toilet, batteries, flashlights, etc.). Off my recommendation she already got a jump box for her car and we're talking about a trip to Costco for other items soon.
Those folks who were nervous before due to the general charge in the air/feeling of impending change are even more primed than ever with Hurricane Sandy and the election. It's a good time to bring others into the fold, regardless of the reason for their interest.
