When I lived in Houston local authorities were very good about getting the message out before Hurricane season started and I always followed their advice.<br /><br />While my co-workers and friends waited until the last minute when it was too late. I vividly remember our Vice-President coming back from Randall's (was across the street) with cat litter and canned cat food and saying "at least the cat will be comfortable" because the shelves were empty. This was before Hurricane Alicia hit the area.<br /><br />The Senate politicians are doing nothing because they are so afraid to speak out against their leader who thinks the Coronavirus is going to go away come Springtime.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-7526514177831656812020-02-22T21:44:02.578-08:002020-02-22T21:44:02.578-08:00It has taken Greyhound years to come to this decis...It has taken Greyhound years to come to this decision...not out of the kindness of their heart...it has been sued by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) amongst many other organizations.<br /><br />I have only been on a Greyhound bus twice both times from Del Rio to Houston. The first time was in the early '80s where they bordered the bus in Bracketville but they never asked me anything. The last time was in the late '90s this time at the Uvalde bus station where they were more aggressive but again they did not question me.<br /><br />Last year I heard that people in Uvalde were complaining because U.S. Border Patrol agents were questioning people who were not on the bus but sitting at the Greyhound station either waiting for a bus or relatives to arrive.MsBelindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09035993834877022676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-32061246691120496622020-02-22T21:17:11.654-08:002020-02-22T21:17:11.654-08:00The pallet comment was just me wishing out loud.

We are staying daily cold here. Still ice on most of the streets, although the main roads have mostly thawed out.<br />I have been filling in the gaps of my prepping. I pride myself on being fairly stocked up, but now with the coronavirus looming, I am seriously getting all I can afford. Most will wait until the last minute and then cry about crazy crowds and empty shelves. I have seen it before. Prices are already jumping up daily here on everything. <br />I agree ICE IS Gestapo. Way out of control and preying on innocent people. Just a disgrace we have degenerate thrives in the senate and White House while good tax paying and hard working good folks are harassed and arrested. <br />This virus will be the great leveled. It won't be able to distinguish between Republicans and Democrats. At least I take comfort knowing the senate folks mingle with a lot of the traveling public and thereby increase their chances of contacting the virus. I know..sounds harsh and unchristian, but that is how I feel. They are doing nothing to nip this in the bud.Penelopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01869670673483172196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-74371515072978352432020-02-21T17:18:53.977-08:002020-02-21T17:18:53.977-08:00I saw this interesting news headline today:

That felt creepy to me. We were not at a border crossing. Good for Greyhound.flyingdjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356244581971697381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-32003800685641518352020-02-21T06:38:51.067-08:002020-02-21T06:38:51.067-08:00As long as the Pallets are not damaged they make g...As long as the Pallets are not damaged they make great fences without much skill and it keeps your cost down.<br />Wish our prices were as low as your's.<br />Be Safe and Enjoy!<br /><br />It's about time.Rick and Kathy Rousseauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05187734210342762674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6538104263023802022.post-37731726201308967462020-02-20T23:17:46.925-08:002020-02-20T23:17:46.925-08:00I wonder why our prices have gone up while yours w...I wonder why our prices have gone up while yours went down?<br /><br />It was cold and windy today.
