Ike, you have a point. Buy a snow shovel in the middle of a rush for supplies, just so you can use it ten months later. Yeah, nice spin…it’s not procrastination for this year, it’s prep for NEXT year.

Hey, load up on the rock salt too! Great in a blizzard!

Can’t argue with the toilet paper purchasers - ass wiping is a year round thing for sure - for most of us.
