Peak Prosperity made the interesting assertion that today was the last day to do serious preparation for what's to come, except perhaps in a few out-of-the-way places that might have another two days. Interesting... but it makes sense. Yesterday was the first day that people in part the U.S. had good reason to take the disease seriously. Today is the first day that everyone else began to talk about that. Reports came in today that Costcos were out of toilet paper by 10 a.m. Hmmm. Ribit must have gone back for a second load...

I spent the day shopping. My goal was to load up on food and I pretty much did. I cleared Walmart out of all of its margarine. I loaded up on frozen vegetables, whole-chickens (a dozen), canning lids, soda, ice cream, pizza, dried beans, chili beans, salisbury steaks, chicken parmesan. My freezer, which was empty two days ago, is now about 80% full. Tomorrow, a different supermarket where I'll take all of their top round... if they still have any. Like today's chickens, top round is on sale. Then fuel. And then I guess I'm about as prepared as I'm going to get, which is to say NOT VERY.
