68. Got the garage pantry

Feb 2020

full of canned food, but will eat the freezer/refrigerator food first. You never know how long the power company will have workers. At some point, I will start storing water, as long as it flows. I may need to stockpile some shelf-stable ultra-pasteurized milk.

I don't think this thing is going to affect me, but once it hits the east coast, we're shutting everything up, and will not have contact with other humans until it blows over. We're in our mid-sixties, and don't need another infection.
