Happy St. Patrick's


It's that day again. In the past I have cooked corned beef with cabbage. So, it looks like I'll do it again.

I'll throw some carrots in also.

I'll also serve some type of Irish bread. That's if the bread shelves haven't been emptied out again.

Our backyard turns lush and green every spring. I'm sure I can find some clovers to make a bouquet. So we'll have a lush green bouquet as a centerpiece.

Doomsday Preppers II

A week ago I read an article about a gun store somewhere in southern California. It had seen a recent surge in gun sales due to the corona virus scare. Many of the stores buyers were of Chinese descent. They were worried of being targeted for the corona virus threat because it originated in China.

Yesterday I read an article about a surge in gun and ammunition sales not just to Chinese but to the public in general. The public was worried of possible looting, assaults and whatever else happens during doomsday so they were preparing.

What took them so long to prepare?! Damn! It took a doomsday scenario for them to exercise their 2nd Amendment. They should not have waited for a doomsday scenario to realize how valuable their 2nd Amendment is. It was put there for a reason. PROTECT YOURSELF!!!!!!

As the old adage goes, "I'd rather have one and not need it, than to need one and not have it."

See my post "AR-15" posted August 14, 2019. I don't have to wait for doomsday, I have the right to own one, and I have one.

I would rather have one and not need it, than to need one and not have it. End of story!

Doomsday Preppers

Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable.

The panic that has been created world-wide is absolutely unbelievable. The prepper's worst night mare is actually just around the corner. It's on the horizon.

For many years I have known of doomsday preppers. I've known of people building shelters, long term food and water storage, etc.

Sure, there will be a day when they will need it, I thought. But not anytime soon.

Over the weekend I went to the grocery market. I wanted some sandwich materials so I could make my sandwiches for lunch. I got the smoked turkey, the sliced cheese and then headed to the bread aisle.

WTF! To my surprise the shelves were completely empty! Absolutely empty! All the shelves of the entire bread aisle were empty!

This is when I realized that the corona virus panic was very real. Not to me. But to the rest of society.

Over the previous few days I had seen people buying large amounts of items at the stores.

Nervous people, I thought to myself. I thought it was just a couple of weirdos. But when I saw the entire bread aisle empty I realized that the corona virus panic was very real. Not to me of course, but to other people. A lot of other people.

I simply went to my neighborhood store and got the bread I wanted.

Today at work one of my coworkers and I were talking about the current situation when we got the news that the job site may be closing down due to the corona virus panic.

WTF! I've heard of doomsday preppers for years but I never thought I would actually see the doomsday in my life time, I said to him.

He laughed.

People were really stock piling food and other items for the impending gloom. And now our job site was closing until further notice. WTF! I fuck'n swear, I never would have guessed that the doomsday scenario would be played out in my life!
