[AGL] Fwd: CDC says: Time for us old folks to stockpile food and prepare for social isolation

[Charles Loving]

Ah Hah. Take the garden hose and squirt yourself? As for hoarding food to
have enough for the rest of your life that might be a tough one to pull
off. Maybe you get a crate of MREs from your local military store. I have
seen them on display at the Commissary. Meals Ready to Eat. They are better
than K or C Rations but not much. The upside is they can be stored for
eternity and some of them have Skittles in them. The chocolate in the K
rations was always very very old and hard as a rock.
