hope for the best, prepare for the worst...

I always try to keep a well stocked pantry and fridge, have candles, flashlights, batteries, camping gear, ammo and other provisions well stocked if for no other reason but to avoid the calamity of a grocery store during a long winter storm (like the east coast has this year) or natural disaster.

I must admit, I do consider the whole "Red Dawn" thing now and then but I have learned to set the firearm down and leave the bathtub for at least an hour a day.
