Unprepared For The Bird Flu Or Other Disaster?

Missed That Glance describes an empty larder...which pretty much describes my situation until last week when I went to the maga discount store and spent a hundred bucks. Though I did let THE FEAR get to me last week, I am glad that I have a few supplies on hand. It's a small thing and I do feel a little better. Even though this bird flu thing is mostly a product of the FEAR MACHINE to distract & exploit us, it's nice to know if some kind of everyday disaster happened I would have some extra supplies.

"we had a great larder all nice and ready after 9/11--and to be fair, living in earthquake country and NOT having fresh water and canned food available is pretty fucking stupid--but it got very depleted.

we were always good on water because we used to get the big bottles of arrowhead delivered, that plus the toilet plus the hot water heater was a fair amount of water.

now all i have left is anchovies stuffed with capers, which tastes good but is not entirely practical. we had a boatload of spam. i love spam anyhow.

the only other thing that's left in there is prescription med backups and stff like playing cards and little board games."

Wow, you even had entertainment planned? Not a bad idea.
