The ones from the south are always the worst. With that being said, I'm going nowhere near a grocery store today.

Quick!! Go buy 8 gallons of milk just in case you lose power!!
Also don't stop to question the logic of buying the one thing that would go bad the fastest should you lose power!!

My wife called from her work saying we need some stuff...just out of coincidence. Fortunately, she also volunteered to stop on HER way home from work. I ALMOST feel guilty her doing that why I kick back in my recliner watching golf and playing on FlameFans.

I decided to stay home today, just in case it moved in faster than they were predicting. You know, just to be safe.
Actually, I stayed home because I was sick. Why couldn't I be sick tomorrow?

I miss those days in the Burg, when you knew you were going to get slammed with snow that night and all the classes would be canceled the next day. The late night shenanigans and running around the next day. The best feeling is when is showed up out of nowhere and you had a huge test or report that next day
