So, I went to town to get feed at our local mill. There was one other person in there before me..T got her order, and usually will take mine as well...and make one trip to the back for everything. This time he didnt... :/ He just said.." Hang on Debbie, I will be right back" Wierd, but OK...so I waited..he got her order filled and came back inside...took my order, and called it back to the guys to load my truck. ?? He ALWAYS gets my feed. Then he said...hey, I have some peanuts, want some? And proceeded to fill me a paper bag full. Now this isn't completely unusual..but he was acting odd...like, he had something to say, but not quite sure how to say it. I thanked him, then he said..Hey, need a calendar? Im thinking...really?? Whats going on here.? So while he is digging through stuff to get my calendar...he says..." So, you know how I talk to people when they come in" I say, sure T...your one of the best talkers in town. He continues..well...what do you think about this "SHTF" stuff people are talking about? I just looked at him, and he went on..." I mean, if you had to bug out, would you be ready?" He ranted about the government for a few minutes...how everything is " going to heck in a handbasket" Then he looks me in the eye and says....." you know, I talk to alot of people every day, One on one...and from what I know about this small town...there are alot of people putting in supplies...food, seeds, etc. They are worried about this SHTF stuff...and prepareing for the worst, Marshall law. This raised my eyebrows. So he says.....will you and your family be ready? We ended up talking about being prepared, storeing foods...supplies, and the how too's. I never admitted that I have me and mine covered...but he went on to say....things are going to get bad...really bad..and soon. Hmmmm, what does he know that I dont?? ( about this town) He was quizzing me on things we need to have on hand..( of course because of all of you wonderfull people...I have all the info already) But he seemed "scared" This worries me. I know he is the center of our little farming town, and knows alot more than most...because of his relationship with the locals. He was asking me how to's..store flour, sugar, salt...So I gave him this website. I told him to mosey on over here....that there are a bunch of great folks here that are like minded with great ideas. I thanked him for the peanuts and calendar...and for the talk...but before I left he said...I just wanted to make sure that you have a plan. YIKES! Now I am wondering....what does HE know...that I dont!??? I think its time to get my plans better laid out...and fast!
