Good morning, everyone!  A bit on the cooler side here today with a good chance of rain.  Bummer!  We want to get to BJ's this afternoon to pick up some coldcuts and rolls for when Laurie & Ron come over on Saturday.  Not taking any chances this time to consider making anything like what happened last week.


Dave - People here are acting the same way they do when there's a possible hurricane coming or as happens up north when a snowstorm may be coming.  Yesterday's hoarding consisted of long lines at gas stations or stations completely running out of gas.  Here's the kicker though - THERE IS NO GAS SHORTAGE!!!  That cyber attack only affected a small area in the panhandle and has been repaired/  Bert was talking to the new guy next door who owns and delivers gas all up and down the east coast.  Central Florida gets its gas through Tampa where ships bring it in.  He said there is absolutely no shortage of gas and the people are doing something that is totally unnecessary.  That figures.  We'll probably get gas while we're out later, but only because we need some, not to hoard any.  This is also the time of year when Bert fills 3 5 gallon cans with gas in case of a storm where we might lost power.  He needs the gas to run the generator in that case.


Kathie - Nice gifts for Ashley's birthday.  Want to adopt me? LOL


Lee - We were very surprised at how empty Manny's was, but very happy to not have to wait for a table like usual.  I had even called ahead to get on the list and the gal said there was no need to get on a list, as there was no line.  I'll remember that come next winter or even once school is closed and the tourists are at Disney in droves once again.


Karen - So how are you feeling today?  Better I hope.


Depending on the weather, we might go to the Grille for dinner tonight to continue my birthday week celebration.  Otherwise, it's time to find something in the freezer that doesn't need to be defrosted.


That's about it from me this morning.  Besides, the dryer keeps calling me.  Have a good day, everyone, and behave yourselves! :)
