  • Personally, we're short on bread at home, but my wife assures me she will get a loaf or two before Schnuck's is all sold out.

    However, we are set on beer. Did my end-of-year inventory and I have about 4 cases in the cellar. Should be enough to weather any blizzard.

  • One might add a suffix to Degree 5:"...and for those in certain isolated areas, hold the nearest crop of winter-wheat hostage, as a precaution."

    B.R.E.A.D.-index. Almost made Homey laugh! OK, I did "snicker"!

    (Mostly just jealous that I didn't think of it first...!)

  • (Psst---hey, James! It's 7:53 P.M., Wednesday! There's STILL enough time before the "main-blast" hours of midnight-to-six, for ya' to "up-the-anty" on that dartboard...LOL!!!)

  • Just stopped at Starlight Rhodes 101 on the way home, an' it looks like Degree-2 status has been declared!

    The way everybody's fightin' the pumps, it'll be "Defcom-3" before daybreak!

    And, YES, I did buy a half-gallon of milk for my Cocoa-Pebbles...!

  • I HAD to go to the store last night. We needed milk, bread and baby formula. I should've gone to the store the day before, but, you know, things happen and I put it off ... well, we definitely reached a 2.5 on the BREAD index. However, it wasn't bread that was in short supply. Milk was only available in half gallons. And no skim to be found anywhere.

  • Y'know, I noticed that, too---only HALF-gallons were available. Wonder if it's some sort of a "plan" they enact, or if it was just coincidence?

    Now, if we can just keep the power on! I've got a generator, but it's about as cranky to get started as I AM, at these temps!
