15 hours, twenty minutes ( more or less).
That's the approximate length of day on June
21st, the summer solstice. And with that increased sunlight
comes increased daily temp's. Welcome to June. Last chance
for planting garden plants. Plenty of time for summer
romances. Time to bury the winter coat in the closet ( or just
plain bury it.) Get the A/C in the window, when it does get hot
you'll want it in place Three Days Ago. June also features
Father's Day (16th), and of course, the formal end of the school
calendar. Time to put the textbooks away, get out your other
reading, and head outside!
Things Mensans Do In The Summer
­­ Design new suntan lotion, test its SPF personally. Then try to
develop a good sunburn treatment.
­­ Plan to spend July 4 2014 at the AG in Boston!
­­ Finally fix snowblower, there wasn't time all winter...
­­ Drive across country, arrive in Ft Worth on July 2, hide in a
hotel there for a little while..
­­ Abandon Spring reading, make new list for summer reading.
( completely different reading..)
­­ Consider going to Patagonia to enjoy the long nights there
­­ Plant healthy, nutritious garden seeds. Snack on not­so­
healthy chips until tbey start growing..
­­ Build Solar Cooker out of cardboard and aluminum foil. Then
decide to just leave things in car window, it's easier and just as
hot.
MomentuM
3
June 2013
­­ Meditate intensely on feeling cooler during heat wave. Then
go install Air Conditioner and meditate about how long heat
wave can last.
­­ Play "Settlers of Catan", but add hexes for Ice Cream
producing lands.
­­ Go see Summer movies. Kind of like March movies, but way
louder.
­­ Practice singing "(I Don't Care) I Love It" in Spanish, just to
sound hotter
­­ Make Worldwide Conspiracy Plan to eliminate the mosquito!

THE ALCHEMIST
by AL THOMAS
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT?
Especially if they don’t come back on in a very short time. If
you live in a city of any size you are in big trouble.
If you are lucky enough to be in a car the headlights still work,
but the traffic lights and street light do not. Can you get home
from where you are? It will be a challenge.
OK, you’re home. Of course the elevator doesn’t operate, but
you can walk up. Not 40 floors, I hope. You made it. No, none
of the utilities work – stove, refrigerator, TV, lights, etc. Surely
you have some candles. A can of food can be opened with a
short strong knife.
What happens tomorrow if the electricity doesn’t come on?
In some areas when lights go out looting starts. In 2 or 3 days
all the food stores will be bare. Will trucks come into the city?
Maybe, maybe not.
The first thing to do is fill up the bath tub with water. That is all
the drinking water you will have. It is from the residual in the
pipes above. Don’t flush the toilet.
Maybe you have a battery radio. One of those wind­up ones
would be better.
In 2 weeks thousands will have died of thirst and starvation.
Don’t go out. The city streets are dangerous. The only ones out
there have guns and are taking what they can for survival. You
should have one for your protection. You will need it.
The first thing the preppers (those who have been preparing for
this) will do is get out of town immediately. As the impact of the
MomentuM
9
June 2013
event sinks in so will many others who are not prepared. Don’t
count on your car. You will have to walk. Unless you have a
place to go stay where you are. Make do.
If the electricity does not come back on the city will slowly die.
The bigger the city the more horrific it will be. A jungle of
predators. You will have to decide to be either predator or prey.
Not a happy thought, Just realistic.
Why do I think the lights might go out? This is a financial
column. The insanity of the world financial markets is becoming
worse and worse. Banks and governments have created 300
stimulus bail­outs that are merely band aids on arterial
bleeding. When the money spigot dries up, as it will, there will
be chaos. In the next few years there will be a world financial
implosion that will destroy society as we know it today. One of
those effects will be loss of utilities.
Unless you are somewhat prepared you will be the prey. Your
choice.
Al Thomas' new book, "If It Doesn't Go Up, Don't Buy It!", 3rd edition, has helped
thousands of people make money and keep their profits with his simple2­
stepmethod.The method made 10% during 2008. Read the first chapter at
http://www.mutualfundmagic.com and

In Memoriam
submitted by Dennis Higbee
New Hampshire Mensa member Denise Brown (nee Penkalski)
passed away the morning of April 18, 2013, after a year­long
battle with breast cancer. Denise presented at several Granite
Gatherings in the mid­ to late­ '00s, and was published in the
national bulletin. She was also active in Libertarian causes and
the Free State movement.
She was a resident of Grafton at the time of her passing. She
leaves behind her husband Joe, and three children, Kaelan,
Mina, and Siri, ages 6, 4, and 2. Denise was a unique person
with a strong spirit and a loving heart, and she'll be missed by
everyone who knew her.

this noble goal, we have had some notable successes. While we allow some previous

After a hiatus of over 3 years, we went back to a Mexican joint last July. There

to Shorty's Mexican Roadhouse (882­4070) 48 Gusabel Avenue this summer to see
if they are still worth our patronage. This family of local restaurants has a loyal
following, so we should not be disappointed. Next month: Peddler's Daughter.

Calendar Submission Guidelines
Mensa members are welcome to submit calendar listings to the Calendar Editor
([email protected]) before the first of the month prior to the cover date. ♦ Event
hosts may petition the Executive Committee for funds to promote events via postcard to
members within a proximate geographic area. ♦ It is NH Mensa policy to avoid conflicts as
much as possible, but no conflicts are allowed to group­sponsored events. ♦ Mensans,
members of their household, and invited guests are always welcome at group­sponsored
events. ♦ Hosts of home­based events reserve the right to restrict attendance due to space or
other appropriate reasons. ♦ While our hosts endeavor to provide accurate directions,
attendees are well­advised to use their mapping medium of choice to determine their own best
routes. ♦ In addition to being proper etiquette, R.S.V.P.’ing makes logical sense; it helps the
host plan for the proper number of attendees and allows you to be kept abreast of any
changes or cancellations.
