Rambling through the hurricane stuff in the Houston paper, I stumbled across this:

Personal story: The grocery store wars

Shoppers rushed Houston grocery stores Thursday afternoon, searching for water, batteries, peanut butter and beer.

At Randalls at Shepherd and Westheimer, the first challenge was parking. Lots were jam-packed, with waits for spaces and shopping carts.

Inside, the crowds moved from the wine and beer aisles - mountains of booze were disappearing fast - to the shelves filled with bread. The white stuff was long gone, leaving rows of brown, grainy loaves.

Bottled water was virtually gone, save the off brands or the expensive ones. Smooth peanut butter was virtually wiped out, too, but fans of crunchy were in luck.

Two men roommates discussed the pros and cons of peanut butter brands, then jams, then had to laugh. ``We never eat this much,'' one said.

``There won't be anything else to do,'' came the reply.

Lest it seem like all fun and games, more than a few folks showed signs of stress and strain.

One little kid near the entrance boo-hooed like his heart was going to break, and his anxious father looked like he was ready to scream.

The sentence that grabbed me was: The white stuff was long gone, leaving rows of brown, grainy loaves.

Shoppers rushed Houston grocery stores Thursday afternoon, searching for water, batteries, peanut butter and beer.

What about tuna and vienna sausages? Those always went fast where I worked.

Inside, the crowds moved from the wine and beer aisles - mountains of booze were disappearing fast - to the shelves filled with bread. The white stuff was long gone, leaving rows of brown, grainy loaves.

Everybody knows that brown, grainy loaves are healthy and have less
preservatives. People do love their wonder bread with it's formaldehyde
aroma. :) What does it say about the economy when beer and wine are the
first things to go?

Akka, grateful for the change of pace

Opps meant to send this to the whole group.. sorry...

I might add to my comments below The story about the so called patriot om M=
esa, AZ who decided to assassinate one of those Muslims.. So he saw a guy w=
ith a turban and shot him. Problem with the man with the turban was a Siqh=
(sp?).

My principle memory of 9/11 was walking into the office and
the first person I saw was a Muslum co worker; thinking how
many people are going to blame him for something that he had
nothing to do with and upset him as much as any of us.
