i have a saying of my own preference, actually two one is
“if you are gonna panic, panic first”
and
“It is better to die on your feet than live on your knees”
“if you are gonna panic, panic first”
LOL! I was telling my wife when I started prepping for Y2K that “Hey - I’m doing my public duty so I don’t add to the panic if it does happen”. And really, there is a lot to be said for that.
