Rael's done some shoppin' over the last few months as well...
: 20 gal water container
: probably enough dried/canned goods to last 2-4 weeks
: mixed bag of dried/ground chiles
: basket of herbs/spices (gonna have to be creative to make Apocalyptic
roadkill tasty...)
: vasaline (you never know what may be in demand post-apocalypse)
: all my Hendrix CDs (and joplin, stones, zepplin, etc...)...and portable
CD player for those moments of apocalyptic boredom
: batteries out the wazoo (duh..)
: blueprints to various major buildings in my burg
: rope...lots of it...
: kitty litter...lots of it...
: chile seeds
: bags of manure for the coming apocalyptic spring
: big, mean dog (okay, she's an old friendly dog, but i can toss her at
someone and do some damage...)
: lots of blankets
: knowledge of whom has stockpiled firewood in my neighborhood :)
: picture of Xena
: can opener
: the equivalent of 1/4 acre's worth of trees in the form of kitchen
matches...
: 3 Twister games
: big arsed stick
: det-cord (police/FBI: just jokin'...jeez...)
: 14 cases of salsa
: 3 tubes shrimp paste
: knowledge that INEEL (Idaho's "famous" breeder reactor/nuclear testing
facility/etc/blahblah/???) is close enough to me that if the worst-case
scenario *does* happen, I may get a shot of tequila down and a cigarette in
my mouth (I stockpiled a pint of the Devil's Brew and a pack of smokes
precisely for this purpose) before my limbs ignite...as well as my
cigarette :)
Ha.
?
Actually, I just hope there is something decent on TV to watch come the
31st...*that* would be amazing...
Back to the cave...happy holidaze...
Peace, Hendrix, and Chiles.......
