Feb 2011 blizzard\u00a0 snowbank on my front door – 4ft 8 inches deep<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since you are all grousing about this, that, & the other thing, but mostly about the current CV19 idiot bidness and what a marone Biteme is (always was?!?) and a whole lotta other things, I can find zero \u2013 nada \u2013 rien \u2013 reason to avoid discussing the things that annoy (piss off) everyone in general. Biteme\u2019s latest intended \u201cmandate\u201d appears to violate the US Constitution, and using \u2018public safety\u2019 as an excuse is definitely totally bogus, man!<\/p>\n

330 million people in this country, including the LEGAL immigrants, and he thinks his vapid orders can stop people from doing things? I want to see that! I really do, since no one I know is that much of a chump!!<\/p>\n

Piss me off once, shame on me. Piss me off twice? Shame on you!!!<\/p>\n

So I suggest practicalities and putting them to use. Remember that video I posted last winter of the Italian lady making bread on her stovetop in a covered skillet? Try practicing that skill, and polish it.<\/p>\n

Remember the runs on stupid things like toilet paper and milk last winter? Well, I do, and it was just plain stupid. Get dry\/powdered milk. Stock your pantry\/freezer now instead of waiting. When Boris the UK Twit instigated another lockdown over there in the UK back in the Spring, he made a huge mistake. His personality rating has dropped like a lead balloon. Biteme has already achieved and nearly exceeded that goal.<\/p>\n

Some of you are nattering about stocking up on ammo. Geezo Pete, people I thought you did that anyway!<\/p>\n

It ain\u2019t about where you get it<\/em>: it\u2019s about where you sequester it<\/em>, out of sight and smelling distance of Gubbmint Inspectors and hapless neighbors. Then it\u2019s easy to say to some Gubmint Idjit \u201cNo, we\u2019re doing bowhunting this year. Do you have any idea how expensive ammo is, never mind how scarce?\u201d And you should have enough sense to set up a fake wall in a closet where you can sequester the gun safe, never mind your stock of ammo.<\/p>\n

A reminder: ammo can be used as currency when money inflates beyond its real value, as can a few other things like bread, bourbon, milk, and TP, which occurred last year.<\/p>\n

Okay, then stock up on food and on water purifying stuff, too. \u00a0Never mind that you should have enough sense to include kitchen matches, oil lamps and lamp oil, bath tissue, paper towels and facial tissues, as well as stocking the meds cabinet with small emergency needs such as refills on your prescriptions, refills on large and small self-sticking adhesive pads, cotton balls, alcohol, peroxide, liquid hand soap and dish soap, gauze pads \u2013 you get the drift, right? Just tell your doctor the long-range weather forecast may prevent you from getting to an appointment, so you want to be on the safe side of things.<\/p>\n

Common sense should tell you to keep yourself busy by preparing ahead. Get yourselves busy right now, and start prepping for the long haul. If you don\u2019t have a standard shopping list, then come up with one, and get enough stuff to store over the winter into spring. If you\u2019re a gardener, then order seeds ASAP against the possibility that they won\u2019t show up next Spring.<\/p>\n

I do get the grinching and complaining, but whining isn\u2019t going to get anything done. Since we\u2019re going into Autumn, it\u2019s possible that in your AO you may need extras anyway of every confounded thing you take for granted because there may be a blizzard or two heading your way.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not scolding! I won\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n

Just saying \u201cDo something practical\u201d with your time and energy, even if it\u2019s nothing more than buying a 7c.ft. freezer for the pantry that will let you store ice-pops for the kids and\/or grandkids over the winter, and give you a rat-proof place to put the venison and wild pork you \u2018recovered\u201d from Mama Nature\u2019s grip.<\/p>\n

You see where I\u2019m going with this, right? After the nonsense last winter plus all the grumbling, doesn\u2019t preparing make sense for any expected \u201cunexpected\u201d shutdown, which is what Boris the Dork Johnson, PM, over in the UK did to the Brits earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Better to be overly anticipatory than to be caught flatfooted again, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

And cash? If you can\u2019t set aside a few twenties each month in a Secret Squirrel location that your kids and grandkids don\u2019t know about, like the family bible or favorite books, or that antique clock on the mantelpiece, you aren\u2019t doing your job.\u00a0 I mean, people don’t read these days, do they? Nope, they watch everything on a screen.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re Americans. We\u2019re resourceful. None of us \u2013 not one damned one of us<\/em> \u2013 has to wait to be told what to do, right? We know how to prep for the worst-case scenarios. Does anyone really believe our Colonial ancestors really turned over all their hard-earned cash to the Redcoats demanding payment of the Stamp Tax? Nah, I didn\u2019t think so. If you don\u2019t have a hidey-hole for your excess purchases of food, medicines, and ammo, I will be so very disappointed in you<\/em>!<\/p>\n

So just do it!!! And keep your yaps shut, y\u2019hear me???? Otherwise, the Squirrel of Doom will be staring at you again.<\/p>\n
