Yeah, after the Northridge quake we became “preppers” of a sort. You have to assume in Earthquake country (or hurricane or tornado areas) you should always provision for at least 2 weeks.
But I am on the road and it did not occur to me that I need to provision.
When this insanity clears I will provision accordingly. There IS a Costco nearby so I can TCB.
In the largest grocery and discount chain in the country, until about 12 days ago, employees in individual stores were allowed to decide how much of particular products to order (for example, ordering more than usual). That practice was halted at about then. Everything is ordered from a central office.
