In Arizona?

Yup Tucson has weird azz weather last 2 Fridays ago it was in the 80's this week its the 50's and this Friday they said it would be in the 70's lol

I'm confused when a storm is coming, stores sell out of flashlights and water and generators and food and stuff.

Aren't we supposed to pe prepared all the time?

I just keep a few bags of rice, all fuel tanks full (keeps 'em from rusting)
chainsaw should always be ready and not left empty, that kinda thing.

Just rules of the farm in case we get snowed in or flooded out or whatever.

Most people (gf included) are just so used to going to the store, she'll drive past the store at Least 2x a day and then comes home and goes back out to the store for whatever.

I DO find it interesting that a few different cultures, separated by continents, have the same philosophy.
Hopi indians, Mayans, i-ching.

The only thing that makes me listen to the mayans is back in the 90's, an asteroid came closer than the moon.
(also happened a couple days ago)
Nasa saw it coming on Sunday and it passed by at 140,000 miles on Tuesday.
Maybe that was IT and we missed it.

check out nasa.gov for confirmation.

Anyway, nasa never saw the first one but it was predicted by the minute by the Mayans.

I saw that go by on the news ticker, the asteroid, they were calling it a bullet burn cause it was so close in astronomical terms. The news anchor was hopped up like he was on crack... Whatever. So much crap floats by us on a daily basis that we don't even know about, and it doesnt take a big one to ruin your century.

Old farmer mentality here too... We just had the first blizzard of the season last week, i stopped by the store which is only four blocks away because other than milk i was good on everything. The store was a MADHOUSE, people dashing around like chickens with their heads cut off. I mean really people don't you keep anything stocked up? I have loaves of bread and sandwhich meat in the freezer, if i had to i could live off ham sandwhiches for a month, not that i want to but if i had to i would have something to eat. Along with the rest of the freezer and cupboards being full of food. I have three kids and we seldom run out of stuff that we need to shop every week, the only thing i keep fresh is milk and eggs, i buy them at least every week.

Hmm... Maybe i should buy a cow and a chicken before the yard pie hits the fan...

Remember the 'war of the worlds' radio broadcast on Holloween back in the 40's (or whenever)?
It was a spoof that we were being invaded from outer space.
Same thing happened.

Maybe that's why they don't tell us everything.

Most larger towns have restaurant supply places.
25 lb bags of rice is like 12 bucks...stuff like that.
Dried beans are cheap too and all you have to do is soak them.
Dried veggies are my fav but hard to find for some reason and powdered eggs are almost impossible to find. Powdered milk isn't cheap.
I got some 2 lb bags of frozen veggies and just pour them in a frying pan on the woodstove.
They dry out real nice. Cheap too. I'm now trying to dry potatos somehow.

Not freaking out but more of a symptom of too much free time.

We lost power for 7 days once and it got me thinking.
Needed CASH to buy anything since the store computers were down.
I put some water tanks around my wood stove so I have probably 150 gallons of hot water
between 100 and 130 degrees with the smallest of fires.
They also hold the heat if the fire ever goes out.

Yupp, definitely too much free time.
They always said I could have another childhood.
It's like building forts and tree houses when we were kids.

LOL... Well being prepared for the worst isn't crazy, and you never know when something like a power outage will happen. I found a product thats good for eggs and its not powdered, they take eggs and mix them up and then pasturize them and put them in sealed plastic bags. They can be frozen for years, almost infinite shelf life. To cook them all you have to do is get a pot of water boiling and toss in the bag, once its fully cooked you pull the bag out and cut the top end off and dump it out and chop it up, instant real scrambled eggs and one bag is enough for a family to eat off of.

My neighbors used to think i was a bit goofy having a generator and exercising it monthly until we got hit by a tornado last July and no power for three days, i had my generator and was the only house with lights on. Plenty of food to cook and eat.. And plenty of gas for the chainsaws to dig out. It sucked but i lived pretty comfortable.

Sure is nice to keep the fridge running and 220 for the well punp.
I heard that the small 2 stroke generator at H Freight at 800 watts may be enough to run a fridge.
They were on sale last week for under 100$.
