Sadly, I don't think it's melancholy gentlemen.

We've already had gas cans stolen from our back yard.

The dented can store(s) prices are going crazy(doubling or more) too: specific to flour, sugar, rice and the like staples. (We're self employed "not rich" like so many stupidly assume:) And, the shelves are no longer overflowing.

Unless something changes, hard times are coming. Oh maybe not for all of us herein, but assuredly for America. No matter who is elected.

Did y'all know that under one of the Patriot Acts it became illegal to "stock up"? Say like Latter Day Saints do as a matter of practice. A crime to be frugal and plan ahead, how curious, don'tchathink.

peaceably
