Season 4 Episode 718
Every time there is an incident that causes death, whether it be a hurricane, earthquake or tornado – or something else, people say things like:
"I could never live there."
Or they ask: "How can you live in tornado alley?"
Today, we will talk about what it is like to live in a tornado prone area, what we do to prepare for them, and why we stay.

Saturday's trip included a couple of extra stops as well. Dollar Tree was first. We've been buying single-use applications of superglue there, which has avoided a lot of waste. The coolers were all in good shape; all pretty much full less typical usage. Other shelves were also well-stocked. For those interested, they now have seed packages.
Our second stop was a little ethnic Mexican store we visit from time to time for things Sonia particularly likes, such as plantains and a vanilla flavoring she adds to her coffee. I like their small bags of pasta noodles. Here, we paid the price for a late start to our day, as it was lunchtime and the store was packed. Their shelves are always full.
Next was Hobby Lobby. They were busy as well. Sonia only wanted a couple of mixed media pads, so it was a quick in and out, but I didn't see any empty areas.
Home Depot was next. A 2x4x8 remains at $3.35. They looked busy as well. If I had to guess, people are ramping up their gardening.
Aldi was lastWe found heavy cream this week. I definitely noticed higher prices. The meal replacement shakes I get are at least $2 higher.
I stopped in Food City. There is still very little choice in larger bags of dry cat food; I saw mostly generic that I wouldn't feed a dog. There are a lot of recipes online for mug cakes, but we like the simplest, which is to combine one box of angel-food cake mix plus one box of any other kind; no oil needed. They'd had little angel-food cake on recent trips, but today they had multiple boxes of two different brands.
Untainted regular gasoline remains at $3.999/gallon.
