Ok. That sounds totally reasonable. When you said over a month, i thought you had one of those MRE barrels from Costco. We usually have a case of water and a case of bubbly water cans in the garage and we could probably live for 4 weeks if we had effectivity to keep things frozen. We’re bad about throwing stuff into the garage freezer and forgetting it’s there - mostly chicken nuggets, French fries, pizza. Cucumbers, tomatillos, and hatch peppers are growing right now.

How much water and food is that? We could easily live for a couple of weeks off what’s in our pantry and freezers. Losing electricity would shorten that considerably.

Just to increase the anxiety that’s already there.

Also because not having toilet paper is inconvenient.

In my family we have an ongoing argument regarding when instant gratification became the norm. I say it’s the ATM. My husband says it’s the car. Obviously things have increased pretty rapidly since either of those.

You enjoy bridges? I hate them, especially the super tall ones and the ones with metal grates. What part do you like? What are your favs?

Tequila bothers my stomach. I lean more towards whiskey, wine, and weed.

Yeah, it’s down a dollar in the last few weeks. I’m sure it’s something artificial to make people think, “hey, everything is ok.”

I filled up yesterday in Dallas. Almost no line at Costco and below $4.

Interesting, but i don’t think that’s it. I think it’s that I’m pissed off and sad that the kid who corrects everyone else can’t see what he’s doing wrong.

My family was sitting in a restaurant for some type of event - funeral, wedding, something like that. My son who doesn’t speak to us was there at the table, avoiding interaction. I ordered something with a weird modification, like lemon cake without frosting. Son began yelling about my order. We all looked at him for a moment and then began laughing because the thing that brought him out of estrangement was the opportunity to correct someone.

Never been asked for registration.
