It must be below 10 degrees outside but the sky is bright blue. The white snow is so bright that after a while, you need sunglasses as the sun reflects off of it right into your eyes.
Here’s a comment from Grandma Eleanor,
Comment: from March 22nd. I found it interesting and alarming, it’s better to be safe then sorry, trust in if you do what is right ! Damn if you don’t!
That’s another perspective, do what’s right and trust in God. I 100% agree. If you want to look closer, scripture is one the strongest proponents of being prepared and ready for the tough times ahead. I won’t go into God or the bible as I’m sure I’ll lose lots of readers but she is absolutely right. How bout those mormons that all have to have a years worth of food stashed?
It snowed for most of the day and wasn’t very pleasant outside. Mom took Jag, Ty and his friend Jack to see the Croods which is the new movie that just came out. Earlier in the day Jag and I took a road trip in the storm to a couple of sporting goods stores as they get their trucks with re-supply on Saturdays. We were looking for 22 long rifle ammunition which they said they had coming in. What we didn’t know until we arrived was that they were rationing it! We were only allowed to buy 1 brick which is a box of 325 rounds. We could and did buy 3 boxes of 38 Special and the last 2 boxes of 308 hunting loads they had. We would have bought half a dozen boxes or more if they would have let us. I should have taken the misses as she could have bought a brick too. They’re probably out already otherwise we’ll go get some more today. This is all you know who’s fault. His attack on the 2nd Amendment (the right to keep and bear arms) is so bad that everyone is buying whatever they can whenever they can. Even though there were white out conditions on the roads, the store was packed when we arrived and guns were being sold as fast as they took them off the truck. Lots of older men and women, like in their 60’s and 70’s were there which was surprising.
Lots of guys I know now drive from store to store on Saturdays looking to see what came in. I called one of my hunting buddy’s from the store and he was out the door and up there within 30 minutes to drop $300 or so on all the ammo they’d let him buy. You see lead is the newest precious metal and is in more demand right now than silver or gold. You can literally walk into any gun shop and sell them ammunition on the spot for cash. There’s an old saying, a rifle without ammo is just an expensive club. Remember a few weeks or a month ago when I told you about the store in Oklahoma taking ammo the same as cash for goods. Crazy times.
Today we’ll probably go sledding and clean up the house some as Jack spent the night with Ty. Those two are upstairs right now playing video games while the oldest is on the couch with me. Mom’s making home made waffles for the boys right now.
I guess I’ll take a shower. We’d like to go somewhere for Spring Break but I’m right in the middle of our really big pre sell event of the year. It ends next Wednesday evening so we’ll see. I think my buddy is doing a huge crab boil today as he bought 5 pounds of andouille sausage the other day in Boulder. It was too cold yesterday to cook.
Pebbles (that’s the misses new nickname as she’s been putting her hair up on top of her head) sure looks cute this morning as usual. Don’t you just hate someone who can wake up and look cute!
Take care and God Bless.
