    Everybody PANIC!

    Enersto

    Ok, what nimrod pushed the panic button?  Whoever it was needs to be smacked.  Hard.  Multiple times.  It occurs to me that I write a post similar to this almost every year at this time, and I’m sorry.  But every year at this time I still feel this way.  We are on the verge of our first storm of the season and folks are already lined-up for water, batteries and plywood.  Gas stations are running out of gas.  Grocery stores are running low on staple items.  On one hand I’m happy to see folks making an effort to take care of themselves rather than holding out their hand and waiting for the government to fill it.  But, on the other, why would you wait until a storm is 36 hours away to go get the things you need?  How many times have you been to the hardware store or the grocery store in the last three months?  How hard is it to toss an extra pack of batteries or can of tuna into your cart?  The last few hurricane season’s have been rough on a lot of folks, but no one seems to be learning much from them ... and I just don’t understand why.
