I got some bacon, cornmeal, dried beans, box of ammo, couple handles of whiskey for snake bites, and a snake.

I'm ready.

I just tried to go to Kroger to get flour to make beignets this weekend and there were zero parking spots available.

I just went to my Kroger as well. I found a parking place, but there weren’t many! I saw a frito lay man in the chip aisle…he said he had been constantly restocking chips for 12 hours today!

Other than that, it wasn’t too bad. It was crowded for sure, but they had every cash register staffed, so checking out was not much of a problem.

The only thing left for me is to put ice in my ice chests tomorrow.

You can’t have enough milk and bread sandwiches. Get back in there.

It was a large order with heavy shite. If you're going to brave that craziness and actually hunt for legit replacements, I'm rewarding the effort on a day like this.

Our local Wal-Mart is basically empty. The wife did find 2 loaves of bread at Dollar General but people here are going nuts. I’m about 30 miles NW of Atlanta

Better all stop farting around here and get gas if you haven’t. It’s not packed here at gas stations yet, but it is busy.

Ok. I’m laughing. But maybe should applaud her resourcefulness?

We went to Sam's and Costco this morning at opening. Not that bad, but by the time we were checking out at Costco, the groupies had arrived.

I’m an OT poor, but I prepared for this one. I will be disappointed if power doesn’t go out.

Spent an afternoon to fill my propane tanks and get a load of firewood for what appears to be a rain event.

Now I'm behind on project deadlines for clients that are in the danger zone in north mississippi. They'll be shut down for a few days.

I'm going to the liquor store tomorrow to make it right.

I went by Sam’s yesterday to get a few things and checked out using the app. I try to spend as little time as possible in grocery stores.

That's when I would go up a dollar or two on all those items.


Then you'd get bad press for price gouging.
