    The water did magically shut down not too long ago lol.

    You never know if there will be a disruption in distribution, it's also panic shopping to beat panic shopping. If water is constantly sold out, and if you don't have a water filtration system, your stuck with drinking Houston tap water.

    Houston better pray we don't have a bad hurricane this year, flooding ****s the water, power goes out, people are forced to evacuate into shared areas. All around the time where the virus could be at peak in Houston. Recipe for getting proper ****ed.

    Heard of a van that is loaded with weapons
    Packed up and ready to go
    Heard of some grave sites, out by the highway
    A place where nobody knows
    The sound of gunfire, off in the distance
    I'm getting used to it now
    Lived in a brownstone, lived in a ghetto
    I've lived all over this town

    This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
    This ain't no fooling around
    No time for dancing, or lovey dovey
    I ain't got time for that now

    Transmit the message, to the receiver
    Hope for an answer some day
    I got three passports, a couple of visas
    You don't even know my real name
    High on a hillside, the trucks are loading
    Everything's ready to roll
    I sleep in the daytime, I work in the nighttime
    I might not ever get home

    This ain't no party, this ain't no disco
    This ain't no fooling around
    This ain't no Mudd Club, or C. B. G. B.
    I ain't got time for that now

    Heard about Houston? Heard about Detroit?
    Heard about Pittsburgh, P. A.?
    You oughta know not to stand by the window
    Somebody see you up there
    I got some groceries, some peanut butter
    To last a couple of days
    But I ain't got no speakers, ain't got no headphones
    Ain't got no records to play

    Why stay in college? Why go to night school?
    Gonna be different this time
    Can't write a letter, can't send a postcard,
    I can't write nothing at all
    This ain't no party, this ain't no disco,
    This ain't no fooling around
    I'd like to kiss you, I'd love you hold you
    I ain't got no time for that now

    Trouble in transit, got through the roadblock
    we blended with the crowd
    We got computer, we're tapping phone lines
    I know that ain't allowed
    We dress like students, we dress like housewives
    or in a suit and a tie
    I changed my hairstyle, so many times now
    I don't know what I look like!
    You make me shiver, I feel so tender
    We make a pretty good team
    Don't get exhausted, I'll do some driving
    you ought to get some sleep
    Get you instructions, follow directions
    Then you should change your address
    Maybe tomorrow, maybe the next day
    whatever you think is best
    Burned all my notebooks, what good are
    Notebooks? They won't help me survive
    My chest is aching, burns like a furnace
    The burning keeps me alive
    Try to stay healthy, physical fitness
    Don't want to catch no disease
    Try to be careful, don't take no chances
    You better watch what you say

    It shut down for a few hours due to a main break. Boiling was fine. That is the first time in my life this has happened.

    if people are concerned with having to drink tap water, buy a Brita pitcher on amazon. No need to have 27 cases of bottled water.

    I told my wife there's probably going to be a lot of babies born 9 months or so from now, with everyone staying in. Could be the new baby boomer generation coming.

    Bought 60 more buck shot rounds and a second pump action for the Mrs.

    Academy is worthless for Ammo fellas. Go to Dick's

    Also, my nectarines and limes are starting to show up on the trees i planted 3 years ago. nothing like a home garden to inspire confidence. If you have time plant a couple peppers in your backyard. They grow great and fast here.

    Hurricane season is not for another few more months. It's likely the virus will be contained and managed by that time.

    Panic shoppers are preventing people from getting their regular supply of necessities. Get what you need for a few weeks. You don't need months of supplies while others have none.

    You think this virus will be contained in a few months? Tha a highly, highly optimistic take.

    I think Houston will be booming in a few months. I think this thing is going to be around for over a year, and we haven't even begun to scratch the surface.

    I would try places like Randall's (if it is close to other grocery stores as no one shops there), Dollar General or Fiesta. Just steer clear of inner-loop and suburb HEB and Krogers where people need to make sure they have at least 5 organic pomegranates to get through this period.

    I was at the grocery store earlier. I have no idea why people are hoarding what they are hoarding.

    The store was out of eggs and white bread (still a couple of dozen loaves of the darker, healthier whole wheat though) but the frozen food was basically untouched.

    I saw one old lady with 8 cartons of eggs. How the **** are you going to eat that many eggs before they go bad?

    It's like people are just picking things out at random to horde.

    You need chicken eggs to make a vaccine. Apparently, there’s a recipe trending.

    You can also make a buttload of righteous brownies with that.

    Or Easter Egg coloring, while you’re bored in self-quarantine. Make quiche with the spent insides, and freeze.
