    Did our weekly grocery shopping this evening (Friday) and it was bad. Pet food low, cat litter almost gone. laundry detergent almost gone. Juice, water, dairy, eggs...gone. Cereal, pasta, spaghetti sauce, canned goods almost gone. Bread gone. Fresh meats almost gone. So at least in my location, the food items are running extremely low.

    As long as I have plenty of beer, I can go down after sunset and throw a sinker line with chicken garbage on it into the trench just off the beach and catch a 100 lb nurse shark that can feed us for weeks.

    Probably glow in the dark after a year of eating it from the Mercury poisoning , but will give me Super human strength to fight off the Zombies.

    From an early age, these days, people are taught to be afraid of everything.
    So no wonder at the panic.

    But if you look at the actual number of infected people compared to the population, it really isn't that high.

    When this thing will be all over in a few months or a year the people are going to get crazy. Like children denied recess.

    Up to 40 actually. Pretty much only drink water, so carry a lot. Lasts around a month. Stop at walmart and refill the jugs and restock my freezer and fridge and good for another month on both food and water. Don't have to buy expensive unhealthy truckstop stuff, often don't even park at major chain truckstops for my 10 unless I want wifi for my laptop. Mostly stop at rest areas or independent truck stops, and at those I'll buy some small stuff just to give them business if I didn't get fuel.

    Keep it stored on my upper bunk
