I remember Hurricane Gloria. I worked in retail, and our store opened just until noon so that people could get supplies. A lot of people didn’t even come to work. I was a cashier supervisor, and was ringing people through at breakneck speed as they bought things like flashlights, batteries, etc. One woman came through buying a new pantsuit because she was going to a “hurricane party” and was upset because it had no tag. She wanted me to do a price check, and I actually had to explain to her that people were buying storm essentials, and I didn’t want to waste time for a pantsuit. My manager backed me.

I’m sure the Molsons is there to put out a camp fire because you sure can’t drink the stuff.

Earmarks in the emergency spending bill! Love that. Likely to draw trolls, though. Still, don’t recall seeing any here.
