So I go to the HEB for beer and Evaporated milk. Lone Star for me and evap milk to put on dog fud. Sue, my bitch, had only one puppy, figured a little evap milk will help her some.
Walked out with $73 worth of groceries, was just there 2 days ago. TP isle was barren, bleach was scarce. Fount sum peanutbutter. Big bottle of Ajax dish soap.
Found bleach on an end idle for $1 ea. Went down few isles and that's when I saw the vastly barren TP dept. Struck up a conversation with a woman that had three kids and only 2 rolls left at the house.
She told me HEB had told her a load of TP was to show at 8:30pm, it was 8:45. We talked a while about the hype. Then this kid comes out with palet of TP. Wow!
Got me 20 rolls of 1000 sheet John Wayne paper. Just adding to my collection of 36+ already. I'm sure it awl gone now.
Came home to store my goods and eat fried chicken, when there was a segment on tv about a mad grab at some store over TP.
Hmmm? Then my guts started rolling, well it's fried chicken and beer, limited sleep caring for Sue and the new little girl dog.
Years back a friend of mine from high school used to make fun of his daddy. Earl would always buy extra TP, in bulk, at the store and have the boys store it in the attic.
We thought he was crazy.
Something else he did was take yams and cut them up, put them in these big dirt piles along the ditch out back. There was yams everywhere. If he needed dirt, you had to dig yams and separate.
Now I'm older, it's not so crazy.
Wish I had some yams!
