We really need to go back to the times when news was delivered on the front porch in the morning and/or afternoon and from no more than three TV stations two or three times a day.

And when every news headline didn't sound like humanity was on the brink of extinction.

"Neighborhood milk supply running low, due to a cow dying at the dairy farm.  Leading to unemployment for millions, placing babies at risk for malnutrition, and reducing the national security posture requiring mitigation by raising the DEFCON level."

It's "sensational newsbroadcasting".  It's the only way to get snowflakes to pay attention to something other than themselves.

It doesn't take much to set off a "panic" buy...guess I better go get milk and bread although I have no idea why... Bread pudding?

Milk sandwiches, duh!

 

Though the path projections I saw this morning show GA, SETN, and the Carolinas potentially getting a LOT of rain.

I have noticed over my years of watching storms either like these of if they predict snow that everyone says they need to go get milk and bread. The milk I can understand but like mentioned earlier Bread & Milk sandwiches???? If I'm going to the store to stock up for a storm I want something to go on the bread besides Milk!!!!!!.................JMHO
