Preparedness Notes for Tuesday – March 5, 2019

We are sad to report the death of actor Luke Perry, on Monday, following a massive stroke a few days earlier. He starred in the quasi-survivalist television series titled Jeremiah. Season 2 of the series is available free for Amazon Prime members. For Season 1, you have to pay. On Hulu, both Season 1 and Season 2 are included with a Hulu subscription. Here’s a description of the series from IMDB: “In a post-apocalyptic future, a deadly virus has wiped out most of humanity. The only ones who survived, were those who hadn’t yet reached puberty. Now, a decade has gone by, and a man called Jeremiah is set on a quest to find a mysterious place, of which his father spoke, a place called Valhalla.”  (Thanks to Marco for letting us know of Luke Perry’s death.)

This is the birthday of Howard Pyle [1] (1853-1911) an influential American book illustrator, painter, and author. He was the mentor of many great American artists including Thornton Oakley, Frank E. Schoonover, Allen Tupper True, and of course N.C. Wyeth [2].

This is also the birthday of Momofuku Ando (born, 1910) the Taiwanese-Japanese inventor of instant noodles and Cup-O-Noodles, born in Wu Baifu, Taiwan. He died in 2007.

Today, with permission, we present a guest article on livestock guardian dogs (LGDs) by Kit Perez. She is one of the editors of the excellent American Partisan [3]. I highly recommend bookmarking that site and especially watching for articles written by Kit.
