It was a madhouse around town today.
It looked like Christmas Eve.
Interestedly, Home Depot looked about normal but Lowe's was packed.
Wifey went to Publix Grocery and there were no buggies available ... she followed someone out and when they unloaded their buggy, she got it.
Every register open and at least 12 people in every line.
I had to wait in line at the gas station myself.
Why do people make a run on bread and milk when a storm is coming? There is a severe banana shortage around here too for some reason. I always stock up early on food and gas, I don't mess with long lines and empty shelves. I'm making my first batch of beer too, I'm going to bottle it this weekend.
And hopefully drink!

No need to stock up. If there is a zombie apocalypse and I run out of food I'm going to kill my neighbor and take his.
Take his? socks?
And, we're looking at maybe 3-5 inches of snow on top of the crusty and icy 8 inches left from last week.
Damn, I'll probably have to use 4wd to get to the beer store!

Buggies?
The storm, which would have hit us Thursday night in to Friday, is instead going to miss us to the east. Thank goodness-----it will be busy enough on Friday without having to deal with snow.

I knew full well what he was talking about and was having a little fun with him----did not need your explanation.

Kind of looks like the shelves in my package car yesterday. Only had 77 stops and 118 parcels to peddle.

Looks nasty on the radar. Took us a week to get back on track after the one day we closed two weeks ago. Lotta drivers hit 60 hours the week after. We were bringing missed packages back every night. Couple the fact Valentines is on Friday this is gunna be real interesting.

My daughter was born November 11th.
Next time I see her, I will tell her she was my Valentines present.
Maybe, she punches hard.

If you wanna get drunk, drink every time the weathermen say "catastrophic storm". I am sipping on wine with the Mrs and it looks like I'm going to get laid.
