Leeanna, Carmen, the Heir and I the Mentor hit the shops later today, and the Heir was wondering why at both Bland Barns and Comida Del Sol there were so many people there.  We looked at him and he was like, dang that's right!  It's the snowstorm that's coming.  He figured that enough people have been shell-shocked enough by Sandy that no one's going to take chances.  But he looked down upon those people running around with an armful of cans at Bland Barns despite the availability of shopping baskets.  People shopped with more dignity at Comida Del Sol.  When we got to the Furniture Store for the Heir to only pick up a $10 set of headphones, basically the least expensive thing there, the Furniture Store Owner was like, dang you're really stocking up here.  Getting ready for the snowstorm, I take it?  I don't think the Heir got the joke right away.  But as we left the shop, the Furniture Store Owner said, well, have a nice snowstorm.  Make sure you have a lot of snowball fights, and build lots of snowmen.  Oh, and, uh, women too.
