It's odd you should bring that up, I almost never leave the property especially at this time of the year.

My water heater holds fifty gallons of potable water, the two toilets another 6 gallons total and the normal canned goods another three gallons easy.

We have flour, cornstarch, potatoes, rice and a small amount of bread on hand at all times.

I have at least five gallons of propane and two grills; about two gallons of gasoline and a few bricks, a shovel and lots of dirt, pots, pans and a dresser drawer full of flashlights and batteries.

I have blankets, sheets, towels, shop rags and three dogs for warmth, four bookcases of thrice-read books and incipient Alzheimers (selective), and the comfort of knowing that nothing will go to waste before my dogs starve to death.

I got a couple real obnoxious grey squirrels that live in my backyard, they love to tease my dog.

They don't know it, but they're on the menu!

I have alot of stuff stored in plastic containers, I should look at some of the older stuff and see how good it is. Wonder how long Velveeta lasts as long as you don't open it?

And my taters is comin up gangbusters! 2 plots, one with reds and purples, and the other one with russets! Last year, I had about 8 lettuce plants, and they went to seed, now I got more lettuce than you can shake a stick at. And lots of cabbage, last years is already flowering, it always weirds people out when they see me rip a cluster of flowers off a cabbage plant and eat them. But they're good!
