    We stopped doing business down there.

    Our Lawmen are actively hunting anyone who does not belong ranging outwards in patrolling. Its unfortunate that we stopped going to J'Ville. Certain amount of money is spent there.

    In two? Well I expect to have a new bug. Backup Gun and a number of other improvements to the situation at home. Finding one with a steel frame is a little different than your run of the mill plastics. (Which are very good, but not with my ammunition.) My armor is expired but rifle plates or replacment will solve the issue. May look into denim jacket type armor that has begun to be produced as a new technology way to provide some protection and not look stupid.

    We are a month ahead in making masks already, don't need too many. As they say there is a certain point that it becomes a quiet waiting before the battle or storm. Thats where we are now.

    Walmart's evolving is not helping stacking herds of people at the one door.

    X, you wanna know something funny?
    People think the bad times start when they can't go to Walmart.
    Bad news is, that would be last week.

    Best wishes to all

    All I can think is that finally no one is picking on preppers large or small. We are all preppers now. lolz.

    A second side track of thought. People here are thinking we will be closed at any time. Out of fear so they continue mobbing. I like to think that our Gov wont close any time soon, we will just take the deaths and sick and keep on trucking. As of today only 43 are on vent, maybe two times that in hospital. Rest of 745 sick are at home. We only lost 14, some in perfect health and young er.

    My wife had the nerve to ask me to go to Walmart yesterday. l said "HELL NO!" ----That would be asking to catch this virus IMHO. As for " Why do you continue to shop at Safeway?" Because there are only two other grocery stores here. Roth's which is a dollar higher cost per item across the board and Grocery Outlet where most items are expired date. We are close enough to Salem and far enough from Salem too.

    The white county walmart had bad ventilation during winter months these last 5 months. I would enter one side healthy as a horse exit the other side getting ready to puke. So I switched to morning opening at a local higher dollar store even if it is about 30% more per item. Air is fresh as a meadow by the time the ventilation had a whole night to clear the place.

    We probably spent approximately 3000 so far give or take for several of us.
