A buying frenzy you might cash in on.

[Millard Grubb]

While my part of the country doesn't have a large amount of items missing from grocery shelves (except pasta for some reason), it might be a good idea to stock up on items that have a long shelf life.

I know Gordon was talking about BIG items on the city or county level which will impact us, but to combat the impact of the BIG items, smaller things need to be looked at a bit.

Canned goods with water such as fruit cocktail or pears, peaches or other fruits keep a long time and have liquid that is valuable. Canned meats last a long time and don't need refrigeration.

Rice and beans, as well as pasta keep a long time as well. (Does this sound like a survival lesson?)

I guess when folks talk about long term issues, I keep thinking about practical methods to keep going.

Maybe it's time for me to create a new book.... "What to Do When That Transformer is Months Away."
