Canned goods and prayers

My friend, Linda from down the street, and I were talking this morning about what we're going to be eating for the next few weeks. I'd be willing to bet that there are countless households in Central Florida thinking about the same thing! For 4+ weeks we have foregone our normal grocery shopping and have been buying Hurricane supplies...we have canned goods of the oddest sort coming out of our ears...Spam, vienna sausages, pate', stew, chicken, soups, etc. Now the disaster folks need to tell us just how to use this stuff. Most of us can't donate our supplies to a food bank, if we did there'd be nothing left to eat. We learned with Charley that fresh meats, dairy and produce are not Hurricane supplies! This will be interesting!

It appears that the giant group plea that has gone out from Central Florida to the gods of wind and water has been heard! Ivan should only brush us with tropical storm winds!!!!! and rain.
