Be Kind
I am amazed at how many people run to Walmart/Publix to load up on groceries when a hurricane warning is announced here. Wondering . . . do they want more food to spoil should we lose power? Are they going to cook a Thanksgiving meal? Will they drink 27 gallons of water/day? We are only affected for about 2-3 days. And gas, are they expecting to drive to the Keys, to Memphis? I don't get it. Why and how have Americans become so self indulged? Why would a couple need 5 cases of water which ... in turn ... would leave the shelves empty for the next couple? Human nature amazes me.
