Life and Its Little Oddities

By: TheSearch4



Chapter 6



Things were now going well and you could bet sometime would screw it up. The
building behind the house went up fast and the pool at the square was moving
along fine. The pool crew had promised they would be done at least three
days before Christmas with the big one and a week before with the small one.
The electric heaters were in place in the smaller building. The large one
had been converted many months ago.



Today's news was constantly talking about how sales were down at the retail
stores and malls. How odd with so many unemployed, jobs being lost and
unemployment funds running out, John thought. States could raise their taxes
as much as they wished and never get enough money to pay their employees.
Cities and counties in Virginia were now going bankrupt at an amazing rate.



To be solvent you need to be able to pay your bonds that were due, payrolls
and buy needed supplies. Without state help for schools many governments
were having to close them. The sales tax was not producing enough income
either as less was being bought.



Looking at the current picture it was slowly still sliding down hill.
Government said a lot of things that were just smoke to cover just how bad
things were. It was sound bites that the news media bought and sold to
people. When it all fell apart the media would sit wondering how it
happened? They would never see they were a big part of the how it happened?
Real news reporting had long been gone from its place. Today if it was
sensational and not germane to the story, report it and cause a scandal.
That reporter would be rewarded for it. Ethics in news did not exist any
more.



Sam came in to John's office and sat. "Well I need more blood and another
scan."



John had to laugh at this. "This time Sam I am not playing your silly game
without answers."



Sam knew he had to at least let some of his research out. "OK I tell you
some of it."



"Good bye Sam and have a nice day." John went back to reading.



"Are you always this tough?"



"Ask David that question Sam." He kept doing what he was into.



"No thanks I have heard all about it from David and Carlton. You do know you
can be a real prick don't you?"



"Sam do you know who you work for? You just stepped way over the line and I
will not allow that. So get your ass out of my office and when you can come
in here and act like a man then may be we can discuss what you want."



Sam knew he had been dismissed and got up and left. He went to Dana and
confessed his transgression.



"It makes me mad Sam, what were you thinking?"



"I was not thinking or this problem would never have happened."



"I would suggest you not try to see him for a day or two. The economy is
crumbling and it is cutting in to his heart. He knows the amount of children
that are going to die from this and it eats at him. Many will not see a good
Christmas this year and some will see their last Christmas. That he can do
nothing about. We don't have the resources to take them in and could never
find them all if we tried."



Sam felt the knife John was feeling now. "I have never felt like this before
Dana. How can he carry that kind of pain?"



"He knows the people here will survive and many children will end up here.
He has planted information on safety for children on the Internet and some
will see it. Parents looking to start a new life will leave them here. We
will only take the very young, like from infant to around ten or eleven.
Older children can work and help build a life for their family. We can feed
2-3 young children for every adults food ration. So we take in no adults and
just children."



Sam knew better than to question where children could live here. If Dana
said that would happen you could bet on it. He was watching Dana run a test.
"Who do we have pregnant now?"



"Just me Sam so it is no big deal."



Sam's eyes shot up and he was looking intensely at her. "Your just pulling
my chain right?"



"Not in the least Sam. I have run it twice and both results say I am going
to have a baby. So now I get to tell the father. Do you think he will marry
me?"



"God girl he will be the oldest man I have ever seen produce a child."



"He told me his great grandfather produced one at 70. I just prayed that
ability ran in his family. You know Kelly is going to be beside herself when
she hears this."



Sam was pleased for her and yet he wondered just how long the improvements
in John's health would hold up? That was all new ground and he just could
not believe it was a long-term thing.



Dana decided she was just going to have to call a family meeting. Once John
and Kelly were seated in the family room she decided to get started. "We
have two issues to be considered here. One is the nano shot has cured seven
cases of black lung and two cases of cancer. I don't mean slowed down I mean
cured."



John was amazed at this report. "Darling your dad was a genius that is for
sure."



"Now the big issue is we are going to have a baby and I need to know how you
two feel about that?"



Kelly was up and hugging her mother in a flash. "Is it a brother or sister
mom?"



"To early to tell dear as I am just a couple weeks pregnant."



John walked over to her and held her and kissed her. "I thank you love. You
need to slow it down a little and let me carry more of the load."



"John I am doing fine and will keep moving at my current pace. The wrong
thing to do would be slow down. But thank you for trying dear. Now do you
think you might be willing to make an honest woman out of me?"



"Any time you complete the arrangements as I told you before."



"Do you have the license?"



"Yep and a circuit judge willing to stop by and do the service. I also have
the paperwork for him to sign for Kelly making her mine. He has already
reviewed it and it was published in the paper. So it just takes our wedding
to finish it."



Dana pulled his face down to hers and kissed him. It was an earth shaking
experience for her. She had never felt this before and hoped she would again
if that were possible. Her panties were soaked and her breath was coming in
short gasps. It was something she had never experienced with John. But his
willingness to marry her with no questions was just more than she could
handle. Then having the paper work for Kelly was beyond what she had ever
expected. God she loved him and she knew Kelly did as well.



Then there was noise in the kitchen. "What is that John?"



"Hopefully it is our dinner being cooked." John said and Kelly laughed at
her mom's expression.



"Mommy, daddy got us a cook so we have more time together. Mrs. Minch is
very nice and her kids are grown and long gone. Her husband died three years
ago and she is lonely." Kelly spit it out like a machinegun.



This was another of John's good deeds. "I assume someone came and ask about
doing something for her?"



"Nope she pulled a gun on one of the security men who came and asked her if
she might not be more comfortable in one of the small apartments. She told
him when the company tried to do that she shot the man. I found out she did
that just as she said. So I was asked to go talk with her."



Dana was still waiting for him to go on. "Well don't just stop there."



"Well I got there and she gave me coffee and pie and we talked. She had
applied for several jobs and was never given one. Before her husband died
she ran the club restaurant and bar. She wants to stay at her old home and
will work for us. Our agreement is she will cook breakfast and dinner for
us. We eat little at lunch and often nothing. But she said she would be sure
we had things to warm up."



That seemed like a good plan to Dana. It would make the baby coming easier
for her. "Fine as long as I get to cook on weekends."



"Sorry dear the deal she wanted was for 6 days a week. So you get Sundays
only unless there is a Saturday night dance at the club. Then she will help
handle that."



"The two dances a month will always be on Saturday nights. The first dance
will be New Years Eve and then the second and fourth Saturdays. The band has
all new instruments and Tammy has a full wardrobe for performing. That
seemed fair as they are not getting paid for the shows."



"I am not arguing in any way dear. Will the stage, lights and sound system
be done by then?"



"The stage is done now with and entrance from the back. The band and Tammy
have dressing rooms now. The sound system is wired and the speakers will be
installed just after Christmas. The lights were a little trickier in that
the ceiling was not the right height. It was far too high for a normal
system. So platforms had to be built for that. Two platforms with one on to
either side of the room, a light bar in front of the stage and one platform
for the back of the room. Those will be installed next week. But come New
Years all will be ready and checked out."



Just then Mrs. Minch called them to dinner. They all demanded she sit and
eat with them. She did argue, but you could see she was pleased. The talk
flowed about their day and the older woman knew she was included, as they
said just what they felt. She would never repeat it to anyone else. What was
said was family business and not for others to know. But she felt that she
was part of one once more and that was a very good feeling.



After dinner Dana, Kelly and John walked the city. They stopped by the city
pool and looked over how it was coming along.



"This will be a great place to come a few evenings a week. The fact that the
whole family can come and use it together makes it very nice." Dana was able
to see just how busy the pool would be.



As they walked through the cold weather it did make them come closer
together. Kelly hung on John's hand and arm as did Dana on the other side.
John enjoyed this closeness and savored it. Once back up the hill and into
the house the warmth felt good.



Kelly headed to get her bath and Dana went with John to the living room. "I
saw the Governor of California today closing down many programs and
departments of government. This is really getting bad isn't it?"



"California was a welfare state and one that tried to transfer wealth from
one group to another. That is a socialist ideology. Now the far liberal left
are socialists and the far conservative right are fascist. They are so close
together it is frightening. But these groups are small compared to the many
they sell what sounds like good ideas to. So here the fact one group worked
and one did not, didn't make any difference. It does not work because the
need for more and more money keeps growing to support those not working,
that is until there just is no place for it to come from. The left demands
more and the right fights to keep what they have. That is where civil war
comes from."



Dana looked at John and she knew he was educating her. "Why do these
problems start and grow?" She had heard civil war and did not want to go
there.



"First of all, understand education is the key to making money and
supporting a family. I assume you have noticed everyone here gets paid and
has a job, even if it is housewife? She does not get paid directly, but her
husband does and she really works for him keeping their home and also
raising their children. So they are partners in his job."



"I never looked at it that way before. But we have a lot of adults taking
classes to learn more here. Wives also seem to take them as well. Why?"



"Your going to have our baby and you have Kelly now. Are you going to have
to help them grow up forever?"



"No."



"Then you had better be prepared to get a job when they no longer need your
help right? Jobs give people self satisfaction. Here pay is based on many
issues. It is not nearly what people could make elsewhere. But they can live
very well here on what they do make. Here there are no taxes on their
income."



Now it dawned on her. "OK they are preparing for later. But how do they know
what kinds of classes to take?"



"Jimmy and Tommy have every job we see needing to be filled for the next ten
years listed on our local area network. It shows the education we would like
for the person filling that job."



"I assume you will have several apply and say they are all qualified what do
you do?"



"Every job will have a test that must be taken and passed. The high score
gets the job, if they passed the interviews. The interview is a week working
with people doing that job. They each get to evaluate that person before our
testing them. Finding good people with good attitudes is important to
successfully filling any job. So people doing that job know what is needed
to succeed best of all."



"Why is California having so much of a problem now?"



"Because it paid so much more for government employees their cost of living
grew like mad. Take most of the large states by population and their cities
and they all have a high cost of living. It would shock you at what living
in New York City costs. The utility bills or cost of an average apartment in
New York City would support a family in many small towns. Many of these
costs come from taxes by government. So it is not just California that has
this problem. Theirs is just larger than most."



This whole problem John was planning for, was starting to make a lot more
sense to her. "Did this happen over night?"



John laughed at this. "No way dear, it has taken many years to bring the
house of cards down. Many bad moves were made to get us here. One being
social security was a large fund and was sitting there waiting to be needed.
The politicians decided to take it and put IOU's in the fund for it. They
spent that fund on welfare and new programs they wanted. So today paying
social security is draining the governments tax collections. They don't have
more money coming into the fund than going out today. This happened a good
number of years ago and now it can't be fixed and keep the programs it
stated running as well."



"It all comes back to poor management by government?"



"My dear most of the politicians are lawyers. They don't think long term at
all. Their idea of long term is finished with a judge's decision. They don't
even have to worry about the effect the decision they created causes ten
years from now. That is some other lawyer's job. Here you have people who
could not manage any manufacturing plant, large retail store or for that
matter a restaurant and they are running a country. They have little respect
for those they are supposed to serve. God forbid they should ever be honest
in what they say."



"You really don't care much for lawyers do you?"



"Nope at least not for most of the arrogant fools. Sorry sugar that group
just is one I would not trust and will have zero of them here."



Dana go up and came over and sat on his lap. "Thanks for answering my
questions love. I am sure to you some sound dumb."



John looked at Dana and she could feel his frustration. "My love I am
willing to share anything with you. Your never dumb in any way. Hell I am
still learning each and every day."



Now Dana smiled at him and melted his heart. "I jumped on Sam after he told
me how stupid he had been."



"Now Sam was dumb dear. He forgot just who he worked for. The problem here
is I have to draw a line and never allow others working for me to step over
it. Thank God I have you and Kelly to be completely human with. Pulling this
together has been hard and the two of you have given me a lot of relief from
the pressure."



She had seen his way of dealing with others but never questioned it. They
headed up stairs and she went to get a bath and John to read to Kelly. He
read every night to the girl and she loved the time with him. This had also
made her understand he did always keep his promises to her.



Once he had Kelly tucked in and kissed goodnight he went to get his shower.
That was part of his day he did enjoy. The shower here had twelve heads and
hit him from many angles and levels. The pressure was high and he loved the
way it relaxed him.



As he crawled into bed Dana rolled over and held him. "Lover I don't
understand this but you have turned me into a wanton woman."



"Baby you have been adjusting to me for some time now. You never trusted any
boy or man after the rape. There were many walls built up to protect you. So
it has been slow going for you to take them down."



His understanding of this did surprise her. "I still don't trust most men or
older boys John."



"But my love you finally completely trust me and that is what counts here.
You have opened yourself up completely to me without reservations."



She had to agree this was very different and it felt good. But she did not
see that before her trust was not really complete. "I have always trusted
you John."



"Yes that is true Dana. But there is trust and then there is trust. One is
hard to tell from the other outwardly. But it is much deeper and one where
you have completely opened yourself to the other. For you I would never have
expected to see you do that due to your trauma. But thank God for some
reason you did and I appreciate it."



Dana had to consider these comments and look very deep inside. It was not
something that was conscious as a decision. But she did feel different with
John than before. The old defensive part of her just was not here between
them. "I don't understand it but I do like it also."



He kissed her and she like to passed out from the feelings she had. It was
emotional and yet electric. Every nerve in her body was vibrating as they
kissed. She just held on tight and enjoyed the release of her own passion.



As his hands rubbed over her body she felt small tremors hitting her body.
When he touched her breast she liked to explode as the nerves just over
loaded and she came right then. This had never happened before, as she just
could not have a climax.



He had felt her climax and slid his hand down onto her small pussy. She kept
it shaved as she did not like the hair. He slipped his finger down into her
crack, she liked to have gone nuts. Then he started sliding it in circles
around her clit and she was shaking all over. Once he started playing with
her clit she exploded once more.



Now he mounted her and slowly slid into her as deep as possible. As they had
intercourse she found very new feelings from her body. Sex had never been
like this before and she loved it. But it was not fast or slow. It was a
feeling of being loved completely and without reservations. This lasted for
well over an hour and she could have gone on forever. The messages she was
getting from John were so satisfying, she could not believe she never felt
them before now.



Once they climaxed together John lay beside her and held her. Her body was
still firing off small explosions and she loved how this felt to her. Just
tonight she must have climaxed at least ten times and that was something she
never knew was possible. God she loved this man and would do anything for
him.



"Darling what do you say we take a shower together? Your pretty wet and
sleeping might be more comfortable for you after one." Dana looked down into
John's eyes with such passion he almost came himself.



"I will follow you anywhere my love. You have reached into my soul and I
love having you there. Now I understand how Kelly can love you as she does.
She loves you so much and knows daddy will always be there for her. There is
never any question in her mind on just where you stand in her world. Now
there is none in my world either." She held him so tight she left marks on
him.



After showering and drying each other off they went to bed with John holding
Dana in a soft embrace.



That next morning they sat down for breakfast and were shocked at the food
ready for them. Mrs. Minch had really fixed a big breakfast.



"Now Greta sit down and eat with us. We will never get all this down."



They ate and talked about plans for the day and things that needed finishing
before Christmas. It was an enjoyable hour spent together and Greta fit
right in. She had suggested they build a toyshop and only sell toys made
here in the town later on. That many ladies could make dolls and dresses
that the shop could buy and sell. John decided it might be a good time to
just after Christmas to buy some toys returned to the manufactures. Then
just store them for other holidays and birthdays.



He knew his next check from VEPCO was going to be around three hundred
thousand dollars. He would see just how many toys he could buy with that and
stock his toy store. But he also would use a vault to store more than the
store could take. He had a small shop with injection molding machines and
die cast machines. They could do some toy work as well that would be modeled
off ones he bought. That was added to his list of items to do.



The morning went quickly and Jimmy and Tommy had spent a very good period
rebuilding several large computers. Now they had a very good Internet system
on their machines. They were backing up all the data they got each day and
downloading schools, universities and government systems. We would have the
very best base for building new knowledge later. A child could take every
class from 1st grade to graduating college on our computer system. The two
had done great and John was very pleased.



The small issues that had worried him were slowly being solved now. They
could do most things that a community would need to survive. But they did
not build firearms, make gunpowder or produce anything lethal. If they had
to they most likely could figure it out. But food, clothing, education and a
good family environment were being built here.



The furniture shop made everything by hand and some was sold over the
Internet to the few who could afford it. It helped pay for the equipment and
provide some against salaries. But getting hand carved solid wood furniture
was today not easy. We were one of the very few who did that. Each set was
different as there was no line of the same things. So that group of the very
rich still bought things like this. The hard woods here allow the production
of top quality products.



The ranches were now producing meat animals and shelters had been cut into
the mountainside. Just two valleys were used for this. We would produce over
a thousand head of cattle, five hundred head of sheep and a couple thousand
pigs each year. There would be chickens and turkeys as well. The trick that
was worked out were the tanks for producing fish. We produced several types
of fish and processed them, then stored them frozen. Meat was something we
would not run out of.



A big need was grains and wheat, oats and corn were the main ones for us.
All these were bread grains and cereal ones as well. Next were potatoes both
white and sweet ones. These were often freeze dried so we lost none. We
needed sugar and that came from sugar beets. The unused portion was great
food for feeding animals out. Of course we had some cows to supply milk and
that took silage and ground corn. So our farming was something we had to
protect. We had good tractors and plenty of fuel for the diesel engines. It
would be several years before we needed more fuel for that.



Here the mountains allow for the fruit trees to be grown up the sides of
them. Knowing that there would be frosts when trees were in bloom protected
areas were picked and electric heaters placed to assure that would not kill
the blooms. By blowing the heat up the side of the mountain and holding it
in a smaller area, frosts could be prevented for destroying a harvest.



Many steps had to be taken to prevent crop failures and weather disasters.
But as each was identified a study was done to find solutions that would
work. It was all going to be planning and having answers before there were
problems. But elevation, cold temps and moisture were the main issues here.
This is where the hydroponic gardens would help.



The case study John had built was growing each day. He had been documenting
each day's work and accomplishments. It provided him a reference to go back
and look at why a decision was made or what factors were involved. That
allowed him to go back and change some decisions based on better data. Being
on computer he could search for key words and find where that decision was
made and why.



Tommy took John's notes each day and built a decision tree for him to use.
That gave him a good visual picture of what was happening and what was done.
It also helped John focus on where he needed to go next. Anyone assigned a
task was required to fill out the decision tree form when they were done.
These were shown in red on the tree and allowed John to check them out
before they were passed over. Each decision needed to be reviewed and he
spent lots of time doing that.
