So here's the question

Should I go ahead and start stocking up on basic foodstocks? Gas? Bullets? I mean WTF is going on here? Dow down 800 at one point today, finally closed down around 300.....I guess that means tomorrow, we'll be up 1,000? then back down the next day.

I'm not really sure, and I hate to be apocalyptic, but I think I'm going to keep a few extra gallons of gas around just in case, and start keeping a little cash handy. Maybe buy a hatchet or axe (or both). Other than that, I have enough hand tools to do most repairs, although I'm a little short of serious woodworking tools. Probably some canned goods, or other food that is well preserved, like some freeze dried stuff or even MRE's. I have a friend that was selling a .45, I my have to revisit the topic with him if he hasn't sold it yet. I realize that this is paranoid, but it could also be construed as "preparedness" and I have the honey and the golden children to think about as well. Plus, most of this stuff qualifies as hurricane supplies also, so it's not going to waste if it goes unused, which hopefully it will.

Anyway, other than all this craziness going on, there isn't much happening. Went to the b-day party on Sat and a good time was had. (by the kids mostly.) For the adults, it was a kids b-day party, but at least there was beer, which made it pretty tolerable.

Got absolutely no jeep work done, but that seems to be normal for the last few weeks. Hopefully with the in-laws coming in, I'll be able to sneak out to the garage for some fun.

Big game tonight, saints vs. Minnesota. Geaux Saints!! I understand several friends and my bro-in-law are going to be there. Hopefully, they have fun and don't get arrested. Although if they do get arrested, I hope they do it early on so I don't go to bed and miss it.

Later
