Damn, inflation hits the wallet fast. Had to cut all coverage on the wife's car & park it. Our old pickup is cheap & sturdy. Riding out this storm by reading lots of books & being in nature w/ my dogs. Thank God I had mind enough to prep for emergencies like this (little here, little there) for the past 11 yrs.
We bought a small above ground pool (for random water needs) & large containers for drinking water emergencies & a Berkey water filter system. (Stocked up on chlorine & borax too). We also bought bathtub balloons.
