Odd thing happened today at my farm [View all]

A perfectly intelligent systems engineer came out and bought hundreds of pounds of that Sonora wheat crop (that you all helped grow) to take over to a farm a hundred miles away. That part is not strange. I remain thrilled to have sold it to someone who will replant it.

The strange part is that he hinted that he was doing this to prepare for some big collapse of the government/society next week.

Now I do not listen to any of the shows like coast to coast, or read any of the doomsday press things, so I am not at all familiar with current "the civilized world is collapsing" theories, but this fellow seemed relatively normal if not pretty darn intelligent.

Is this something going around, a current collapse theory? This has a "year 2000 all computers will fail" feel to it.
