The Grocer Conspiracy

Yes, as those who live in the South well know, there's a super-secret conspiracy between the grocers and the meteorologists to boost the sales of milk and bread during the Winter months.     Just *hint* at the possibility of freezing rain, ice, sleet or snow in the Southeast, and the grocery stores are over-run with frantic shoppers thinking they're going to be snow-bound for weeks.

Me?     I wouldn't have even ventured into the hysteria had it not been for the fact that the dogs had eaten all of the cat food last night, and the cats were sitting by their feeder this morning with a sad expression on their collective little faces.     So I was forced to enter the war-zone, better known as Ingles, to fight through the crowd of milk-and-bread warriors for a bag of cat food.

Right now, the skies are grey and ominous, the winds are howling, and the temperature is dropping.    I'm all safe and warm inside with a fire crackling, candles flickering, and music playing.     Is it going to sleet or snow?     Who knows?     But, the cats have food, the dogs have food, and the fish have food.    I don't drink milk, and there's plenty of bread already in the house . . . I guess we're ready for a blizzard . . .

[Update:   At 3:15 p.m. EST, It has begun sleeting - heavily - just north of Atlanta ... are we going to see bad weather this weekend after all?]

This Author's Profile

♪ I am

Susan Reno-Gilliland, known as "Miss Kitty," an Irish lass, a true Southern Belle; a writer, photographer, animal-lover, dreamer, stargazer, totally tangled (or is that entangled?) in relationships, slightly obsessive iNFp with stories to tell! . . . (fascinated by forensics, human behavior, pushing all the right buttons of men I find interesting, and seeking utterly-sweet revenge without any repercussions.) I am a Friday's Child. Friday's Child is loving & giving.
