Run On Groceries

Perhaps this week someone can explain grocery-shopping-before-a-snow-storm behavior for me. Sure, I’ve seen it before but I guess I never paid much attention to it. That was until I had to experience it. Last week I got hit with a honey-do list that included picking up “a couple of things at the store”. What the hell? Shelves were picked clean. People were pushing and dragging over-stuffed carts like garbage scows. And the manners. Let’s just say not everyone was on their best behavior. There were so many of them. Surely they knew something I did not. Right? I’m not even joking when I tell you I checked Weather Bug on my phone. How long before I could shop again? How much food would I need to tide me over? Do I really need to buy water? That last one requires a much longer discussion.

To the Store We Go

This seems like an appropriate route to discuss this topic. And 14 miles should give us adequate time.
