While out running some errands yesterday, I detected a general mood of unease among regular folk. Can't put my finger on it but I haven't felt it before and I don't think it's good. Gas prices and N.O. are probably the main cause. Anyway, I got lots of bullets and popcorn. I'm ready.
And good on you, Leadpenny. I live in a tourist mecca which is generally jammed to the gunnels on Labor Day Weekend. Yesterday was quieter than an off season Sunday. The local county fair, which the influx of liberal diletantes has tranformed into some kind of festival of ideological reorientation was virtually deserted. People are staying at home with their families. The smart folks here are buying up or cutting all the firewood they can in anticipation of a rough winter and skyrocketing natural gas costs while the liberals debate the ethical nature of putting particulate gasses into the air in the form of woodsmoke.
