I have just come back from an attempt to get out before the worst of our “worst blizzard of the year” falls in earnest, and stock up on those ever-mysterious and never fully defined “staples” at whichever grocery store I happened upon first.
People never remember that it’s almost never as bad as “they” say it’s going to be. Even when it is, like now, the main streets will be plowed soon, and salted, and driven over dozens of times. Civilization will not fall. We are all a lot better off than we think we are, for the most part.
So be prepared for multiple postings as I stave off boredom and snow-blindness.
