The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Preppers


"Subculture of Americans prepares for civilization's collapse.....Tegeler is among a growing subculture of Americans who refer to themselves informally as "preppers." Some are driven by a fear of imminent societal collapse, others are worried about terrorism, and many have a vague concern that an escalating series of natural disasters is leading to some type of environmental cataclysm."



TWW's Soapbox:  TWW was a student of the survivalist movement in the late 1970s during Carter and thought the end was near.  But then Reagan was elected and the movement mostly died out except for the right wing kooks who live in the country.  Now President BO is in charge and more people are planning for the end again.  We need another Reagan to raise people's spirits but the unions are trying to get rid of the Reagan-like governor in Wisconsin and at the national level we have Newt.  If he gets elected watch all of the anti-gun liberals buy guns and freeze-dried food and create fortresses in the city to prepare for the end and join the movement. Come to think of it if Newt is elected TWW will start stocking up too.
