Went to Wal-Mart this morning to get the remainder of my grocery shopping done. There was a crowd in there all competing for 'essentials' like milk, bread, eggs as if there was some dire calamity about to befall the area. The weather guessers have folks here so panicked that they think a major blizzard is coming in. Come on people! It's maybe a 50% chance of snow flurries that will be on the ground for one to two days tops. And a ruder bunch of people you couldn't ask for. Jostling, shoving, pushing, forcing their way through aisles. I watched two guys get into a shouting match over of all things a box of Ritz crackers when there were still several hundred on the shelf. I guess they thought that box had something special in it. It seemed also like people were just grabbing things, even things they likely couldn't even use. Flashlights but no batteries for them? What are they going to use to make them light? Good wishes? I wonder, is there some TV or radio channel out there that I'm not privy to that's telling these buffoons there's some big blizzard or other dire calamity coming and that it's perfectly OK to act like a bunch of jack***es strung out on locoweed? Where do these people come from? It's the same on the roads. People cutting others off, making illegal turns across traffic, one guy making a U-turn on a 4 lane and driving back the wrong way in a one way when the proper lane is only a few feet away? I wouldn't blame the local cops for just sitting, watching and staying out of it. They were probably scared stiff!
