There's a lot of concern about "prepping" on the sites I read on the internet. Seems the focus has shifted beyond gardening and canning, to preparing for times that will require a more militant solution. If 7 million people have entered the country illegally, common sense would dictate not all of them are looking to assimilate peacefully and become upstanding citizens. The thing that I've been pondering, if so many families are living paycheck to paycheck, behind on their rent and car payments, how are they going to stock the pantry with an extra supply of food, batteries, etc.? They haven't been showing the long lines at the food pantries on television for a while, but I doubt seriously the need has disappeared. Throw in the crazy politics of the election year and some crazy weather like the rain in LA, and business is liable to pick up.
We had part of the "Big Game" on yesterday. We missed the halftime show and didn't really start paying attention until the 4th quarter. I wasn't too impressed with most of the commercials. It looked to me like most of them were for food and drink we shouldn't be consuming or things to entertain us. I'll admit to being surprised by the ones for Jesus and the one for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Hard to disagree with the need for Jesus these days, as well as having a viable third-party presidential candidate, especially after the report on the nice old guy with the bad memory. I was disappointed in Peyton Manning appearing in the Bud Light commercial. Looks to me like he sold his soul for a few pieces of gold. The 4th quarter and the overtime made for a good game, though.
Tip of the hat to Surly for this one.
