Before Rita: Wednesday Morning

This morning I went to Home Despot to get a few things. Of course the things I really wanted like gasoline cans and a generator were sold out, although there was still plywood In fact, I went to two Home Despots and a Lowe's. At the final stop, a Home Despot, there were about 40 pick-ups in line for plywood, and about100 people in line for generators, though nobody knew when the next truck was coming in with them. I made the mistake of talking with some of them. This just began to trip me out. They were all in various states of panic, and were just feeding off of each other's fears.

Not that there is nothing to be worried about. But there is no need to freak out, just keep calm and get it all taken care of, whatever it is you decide and/or need to do. Sheesh.

Anyway, plywooding-up my windows is not practical. But I would like a generator.
