“Toilet paper is the item I don’t get.”
I’m guessing space in the city dwellings is an issue - or is it more of a mind-set? In those photos I am amazed at how little most people are buying. I know some people that live in Seattle. Some eat all of their dinners at restaurants every night. Others pick up what they need for the home-cooked meal on the way back from work every day.
So perhaps that mindset even enters in when preparing for a big storm?
I couldn’t stand going to the store every day.
I have relatives that live on a ranch. He goes into town once a year for taxes. The wife goes in once a month or so - but trying to get it to once every three months. Funny thing was - it was only a 45 minute drive into town!
It’s not that difficult. The Chinese restaurants will stay open no matter what happens. And as long as the telephone works, no NYer is going to go hungry.
I have heard that some apartments are about the size of a closet. I used to live in a small apartment — maybe not that small — but I always would find someplace to store things. You would be surprised what you can fit under a bed.
