... Kamala Harris had it. I've also been baking bread, a loaf a week since the Pandemic. I don't hoard more than a package of tp. But my pantry is being filled and I have started drying and doubled the back porch tomatoes. Tomatoes are a tough thing to grow out here. I do grow some indoors, a grape golden I've had excellent luck with. But I want Heirlooms and I may get one or two, so I plant three new likely suspects each year. I'll keep buying on special in bulk. We got a vacuum sealer.

I'm not going survival so much as I am evening out the bumps. When we get to the rallies, required party membership, internal passports, "FEMA camps" - I'll be in rural Ohio or Iowa. I'll reconnect to like minded from the 60s and 70s.

This shit ain't even started. Why aren't there millions in the streets?
