How does your personal "Long Emergency" look?

Don't know what you are on about. We are rockin' right along around here.

Need to keep a close eye on the grocery shelves if you want options.

I'm happy enough to eat today, and stay dry if I'm lucky.

Havn't had any problems here, with one exception. When we buy a half gallon of milk it spoils in less than a week. But we've just had a whole gallon last over two and a half weeks. Would anyone here have an idea why?

Check the exp date?

We buy milk on sale and freeze it. (2%) Don't think whole milk freezes well, it tends to seperate. Make sure to leave some air space and leave the cap a bit loose. Tighten cap next day.

Back on-topic: no shortages here. Stores still have artichokes to zuccinni.

What with the fine weather we've been having and all lately, I fired up an ICE powered vehicle, dashing randomly around the neighborhood checking to see how our slide into the Gorge is going.....no dice....everyone still has power, I stopped in the grocery store, acquired some cereal and bread, so wheat must still exist, and the fueled up on the way home.

its just awful.....

milk loses one day freshness for each fifteen minutes left out of refrigeration.

I haven't gone to the super WalMart in a while, but I went today. I noticed that there were gaps in stocking rice. Just rice. It seemed odd, the small bags were gone, but the big bags were still there.
