Impending Doom

I love the feeling of impending doom. I liked it a whole lot more before I lived in a house in the woods but there is still an edge to it all that rattles routine and complacency. For the most part, besides the highest property taxes and car insurance in the nation, South jersey is not a bad place to live. We will never be that area shown on the weather channel for severe weather or on CNN for any story using the word 'epicenter'. But this weekend, we will have the remnants of Hurricane Hanna bringing rain and tropical storm winds. Local news channels are having a field day with this and I would bet the ranch that the food stores will be sold out of milk and bread by Saturday morning. Milk and Bread? Yes, that is what we were taught in elementary school to buy in case of emergency except when the nuclear sirens went off and then we were supposed to get under our desks and I guess use our cloaking devices. If I am ever in a storm so bad I lose electric for a week, what the hell will I do with all that milk? I think there is a conspiracy from the 'Bread Pudding Society of America' going on.

Never mind that I was supposed to be going to my second craft show of the year this weekend and with all this doom coming, they have not as of yet postponed the show until next weekend. I really needed that show and wanted to make some money but I refuse to sit out in a tropical storm remnant trying to hawk my wares. If Southern NJ is still here next week, I will post about survival techniques, but wait!!!! Have you watched the weather channel??? Beware of Hurricane Ike!
