Swine Mania

Noah called from school to ask if we had enough food on hand for a 3 month quarantine. His psychology teacher said the Swine Flu will be huge and I could hear a touch of panic in Noah's voice even though he was trying to sound clever in front of his friends. They tease him about the shelves full of food in the basement. They drop by our home for canned food drives. He said they aren't teasing any more.

Ike thinks a quarantine would be even better than a snow day.

In the next few weeks Roland is going to San Francisco and Australia. I hope those trips are canceled. I probably sound paranoid but well meaning people keep sending me end-of-the-world emails and I listened to Glenn Beck for 3 hours yesterday while I cleaned so I am a little jumpy.

I did a quick check and I think I will go buy more:

cooking oil
allergy meds
toilet paper
chocolate chips
candy bars
cookies
fudge
chocolate
chocolate
chocolate

If I end up stuck in a house for months on end listening to bad news, I am going to need chocolate.

On the other hand, my dad sent me this video:

Look on the bright side, right?
