I was flipping between 11 and 8----and they were showing all of the lines of cars in the gas stations...

I went to Wal-Mart this morning to pick up some Romaine Lettuce and lemonade (I drink lemonade ALL DAY). Anyway, I thought I'd pick up four gallons of spring water for my wife (who drinks water ALL DAY at work). No gallons left. Nothing but little bottles of Sam's Club drinking water. At the friggin' Wal-Mart in Bedford, Texas!

Some guy had eight 6-count Double Roll packages of toilet paper in his cart!

I almost asked him if he might need a Stick-Up or two to go with all that toilet paper!

I cannot believe that people are going crazy at the grocery stores up here in the Metroplex.

It seems highly unlikely that we will have power or water shortages.

OTOH, I have filled up both cars in the last two days.

I am in a little town in the Texas Hill Country 2 hours west of San Antonio and every motel and vacation cabin is taken, In our tiny town there was actually a line for gas at the only gas station.

Saw a lot of horse trailers between here and Kerrville, may have been people getting their horses out.

There is a big equestrian center at Katy (just west of Houston) with animals worth many thousands of dollars.
