Hunkering down can be a major nuisance. I’m trying to think whether there’s anything I need from the store; because once weather conditions start to deteriorate, I won’t be able to get to any stores.

When I was a kid, there was something exciting about heading to the supermarket as a hurricane approached; but not now. Especially while I was still working! In those years, by the time I could reach a store, the shelves were almost bare; and I’m happy to lay in emergency stores before any emergency threatens.

I have enough canned goods to last a while; and a good supply of bottled water. I hope I won’t have to dig into my supply of energy bars!

Today the sun is peeking in and out; so the really bad weather is probably still a little way off. But I’d better not wait too long to go out!
