Govenor Abbott declares Statewide Emergency, Post News and Announcements

Postby Rambo » Fri Mar 13, 2020 1:47 pm

I went to HEB Lufkin, EARLY, this morning. No Lysol or anything else like that. I managed to get some milk but it was 2%. came on to the house and took my Wife's car and filled it up.
I'm not going to offer an opinion here, but just wanted to give Y'all a heads up from a relatively rural situation

the daughter in wash DC no TP no sanitizing cleaners... The wife yesterday HEB Round Rock no problems; me at work(DPS radio shop) sanitizing sprays galore mostly home made; emails flying to sanitize door handles, cars, keys and most things touched.
Me and my narrow minded opinion, The sooner I get it the sooner I will get well or not. I refuse to be afraid. :D

All good here, no cases in South Island, 5 in the north. Our liberal limp wristed government will let more people in to our country. I'm not bothered, more people die from influenza. Be safe people.

We need to have a secret code. If you see toilet paper in a store post the secret code and a location

Just don’t use it for an electric toothbrush.

It all seems a bit over-nutty to me, the world collectively agreeing to melt itself down. Meanwhile, back at the ranch (my sister’s 40 acres out in Abilene), she steps out on the porch this morning and plugs a boar hog at 200 yards, one round, through the ear. A 190 pounder.

Country people can just handle things.

I like Buffalo Gap, Abilene’s flatter than a Marine haircut. Perini’s steaks are pretty good, and the country is pretty.

Nice. I lived in Abilene for a few years when I was younger. I've got family out there and in Sweetwater.

At the local supermarket today I saw a guy with 20 64oz jugs of peanut butter in his cart :scratch: , enough to last a couple of years. You'd think he'd also load up on bread and jam, but, besides the PB, all he had was 2 boxes of oatmeal. :dont:. Truly bizarre behavior happening at stores this week.
