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.

P.S: Stock a case of each of several canned meats, cases of canned
veggies, and half a dozen cases of water for the next time. I you
have propane, stock up on ramen. Half a can of veggies/meat and a
ramen makes a hearty stewp for. I toss the MSG "flavor packet" and use
bouillon, garlic, and pepper, mostly. It ain't a $15 gov't MRE, but
it's not half bad.
