"I don't think you'd be laughing, no, not one bit."
Well said, Trav. I can't remember a time in history when I've been more of a freak about stockpiling canned goods, pet supplies, blankets, medical supplies, and gallons and gallons and gallons of water than I have this past year.
I'm predicting at least one big blizzard and one big ice storm up by me this winter. We've already had a 40-million-dollars-in-damage tornado this season...just one town over.
Whiners, whining about any aspect of their lives, only spur me on to action to help keep MY future whining to a minimum. ;)
If TSHTF, we won't be able to say we haven't had plenty of warnings to get ready.
