    I wonder about it too, Joy. I fell for it during Covid and stocked up on stuff that is now rapidly expiring "use by" dates. I have donated some things to the food drive to get them out of here.

    I'm staying right here in the air conditioning until the power goes off. Then I'll probably get out my 38 and bid the cruel world adieu.

    A friend and I were talking about this stocking up and she told me she purchased one of t those highly processed food boxes and that was about 25 yrs ago and she now is going to throw it out. I never did that one....but I hear these advertised on some programs I tune into.

    Perhaps it's really truly money driven on Everything.

    We have a boat ,like everything else its old. But it runs, it may make it to the rivers that enter the swamps. We have swamps here but they have homes along the shores.

    St Mary's and Suwannee Rivers both go to the Okeefinochee Swamp.

    My older sister and BIL have a closet full of that stuff from a Mormon company. I think it's good for 20 more years so they are good to go since he is pushing 80.

    I know all about the Okeefenokee; I was raised about 100 miles from there so I've been to Waycross many times. My nephew married a girl from Fargo GA; she was raised on the edge of the swamp.

    If SHTF, there are a lot of folks who are at risk of lack of medical care. Being on a catheter, I just joined them. I think we've been taken into account when the plans were made.

    Try to make sure you have extra supply if you can.

    Removal and installation is the issue.
