The Roving Bands

Why do the old movies always show roving
bands on motorcycles and in pickup trucks?
When the supply lines collapse there
is no gas, not for long anyways.

The roving was on foot or bicycles, and
roving bands of psychopathic cyclists
can't do that much. It's the people close
at hand that you need to watch.

What really happened is that people got tired
and weak, hiding and hording their baked beans.
There is a certain amount of scavenging
you can do and then everything runs out.

Unless you have skills, unless you work
together and settle down and teach each
other and sort it out, preserve what you
can and keep going. Those people lived.
