Gas up those vehicles and BOVs, if you can, store up on the fuel as well. Prices will rise pretty fast pretty soon

U.S. Sends Letter to Iran on Strait of Hormuz
Iran confirmed today that it has received a letter from the United States concerning the strategic Strait of Hormuz. Ramin Mehmanparast, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman, said the country is studying the letter and “will respond to it if it is necessary.”
“The US ambassador to the UN, Susan Rice, sent a letter to Mohammad Khazaie, Iran’s UN representative, which was conveyed by the Swiss ambassador, and finally Iraqi President Jalal Talabani delivered its contents to officials” in Iran, the official IRNA news agency quoted Ramin Mehmanparast as saying.
“Providing security of the Strait of Hormuz and Persian Gulf needs a collective measure and some cross-regional countries cannot decide about it,” he added.
The contents of the letter were not revealed.

I hope people are watching the news for these events.

Quick post for new year
Starting off the new year, I just wanted to remind folks to rotate your preps, particularly your water. Any items you have stored long term should also be checked up on. This is besides your grocery purchases (canned food). Also, update your food inventories for what would need to be replaced in the next few months.
A quick note on the water stores, I was rotating our water supply as you are supposed to do so every six months, when I found it would take longer than expected. Nearing the middle of my store of water jugs I noticed the water spurted brown from tap. I let it run for a few minutes waiting for it to clear-and I kept waiting. Soon enough I realized the newly filled up water jugs are a bit yellowish compared to the old ones. I assumed it was because the water would settle later on, and since I could not proceed further I set the task down to return to it after a week.
Week passed by and I make the time to resume filling up my stores on a Sunday night. Sadly, the water still had a tint of yellow/brown, but was a little better. This meant that water quality had deteriorated in the last few months, maybe in our building plumbing system, in the neighborhood, or worse further out there.
So, just a quick reminder. And store those water containers out of the sunlight.
