The smart thing to do is have at least a couple weeks worth of food, water, and basic supplies in a closet. Doesnt take up that much space, and if you just buy a couple of items of non perishable food every time you grocery shop, maybe a case of water once a month or so, its fairly easy and inexpensive. Just make sure to rotate your stock into your regular meals to keep stuff from sitting for years.

Stuff like dry beans and rice might keep forever, but waste way too much water and fuel to prepare. Canned beans, veggies, fruits, meats and fish are best, imo.

Still no power. 3 days straight now. F*ck man. Like I've been much longer without power, but it seems a lot worse when you're a college student and you can't take showers or use the internet without going to a friend's house.

Pay yo bills mayne!

Finally got power back on around 3 or 4 today.

Greenville looked bad yesterday. Chris went to feed the utility workers, and it was a mess. He was on the cooking truck and a live wire hit him going down the road. It was still during the storm, and he was blown all over the place even in the truck.

He's in Enfield right now feeding the utility workers. He said it's terrible there. His word was "destroyed" for the area he's in right now.

Lots of trees down here. Some roofs gone. Medlin Buick/Mazda, which got hit by the tornado earlier this summer, sustained more damage. My mom's pecan trees dropped large limbs, but none hit the house. We just have limbs down.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
