meanwhile the suckers keep on buying

I'll bet the people in Florida and Texas who stockpiled bottled water
did not consider themselves suckers. We keep bottled water in gallon
jugs in our motorhome because there is no telling what the local water
tastes like. We're certainly not suckers.


I had six gallon jugs of distilled water on hand for cooking, and 16
two liter bottles of fake Diet Mountain Dew when Irma hit. The gallon
jugs were 87 cents each, and the diet soda were 75 cents, each. I also
had 20 cans of Spam.

My electricity was out until the 169th of last month. CATV and
Internet were resorted on the 20th. The landline still doesn't work,
over a month later.

My broadband provider closed my Earthlink account and replaced it
with their crappy product, taking my email and Newsgroups with it. I
just signed up for a different Usenet service a couple days ago.
