So much better than running around like a chicken with it's head cut off at the first sign of danger!!

That gave me 12.5 gallons in cans and all the machines with full tanks and 42 gallon sin the vehicles. I picked up one gallon of milk a fresh head of lettuce. We have enough food and supplies for at least 6 months for the 10 people in my family who all live within 2 blks of each other + plus whatever supplies they have. I watched the neighbors shovel the 19" of snow with THE worn out snow shovel that broke 1/4 of the way through the clean-up. They were happy to tell me they got their new "painting" for only $12000 at an auction and could I blow the rest of their snow for them. He's 35 year old BANKER, has two healthy kids and a wife, I'm 62 with a wife with a bad back. I said "if I have time whenI'm done with my snow". 7 1/2 hours later after I finished cleaning up my snow, the doorbell rang... Did I have any milk and coffee I could spare????

The stores shelves they showed were stripped clean. Yes, peace in preparedness.

I took heed at the first whisper of a bad storm and did those last minute purchases while other folks were saying, "get ready for what?" I have some things in the oven baking right now for later use.
