Louisiana is one of the places in the US that's hardest hit by the virus. This is literally how I feel driving around the French Quarter in the daytime now, only difference being that so many of the French Quarter buildings are now boarded up as protection against looters and vandals. And I don't have a convertible or a Smith and Wesson M-76.
Somehow all of the Usual Suspects have face masks of the sort that out medical providers are begging for. Wish I knew which welfare store was handing them out. And most of these fools just have them hanging around their necks while they sit around on corners in close proximity to other fools. This is how it's spreading despite orders for everyone to stay off the streets and avoid contact with each other. And the ambulance service just put extra trucks on due to the overload as every third asshole with the sniffles seems to be demanding rides to the ER now to "get checked out". The hospitals are close to overload now with all of these non-emergency panic cases.
The gun shops are low on guns and almost out of ammo. One range is refusing to sell any more range practice ammo to anyone who isn't buying a new defensive handgun. They're saving what little they have for new gun buyers.Sure glad I stocked up years ago. Grateful for the new rifles I got this year now too.
As for me and the dogs, we're watching movies like Omega man and loading magazines. And eating ice cream. Because we ain't skeered.
Omega Man is a classic. Now a documentary.
ReplyDelete"The Last Man On Earth" with Vincent Price is also very good, the first of the films inspired by "I Am Legend".
ReplyDeleteYep, Omega Man is a classic, and I liked the Convertibles..First time I ever saw a rifle with the night vision scope. Later on when I got older I knew the rifle was an M-14 and it was a first generation Starlight scope, still scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. "Nothing cleanses like Fire brothers...." The welfare types probably got masks that "fell off a truck". That usually is how it works, the underground economy is really big.

ReplyDeleteglad you and the dogs are doing all right still. I pity the poor fool who thinks you might have something in your house and tries to get it early one morning. Who's your money on taking the first bite? Mine's on Merida - it's the little ones you have to watch out for! Stay safe, enjoy the movies!
ReplyDeleteHeard they think all the partiers that flew in from places like NY for Mardi Gras may have brought you this gift and that's why it's so bad.
ReplyDeleteYou do what you gotta... Pet the pups for me!
ReplyDeleteYa'll be careful down there. Like Old NFO says, pet the pups for me.
ReplyDeleteLike your blog from Covington
ReplyDeleteI love the feeling of being prescient. And being prepared. No ammo ? No problem,
ReplyDeleteWhat? No Model 76? You'll get kilt on the streets for sure! Stay home! It's the only way to be sure (since you can't nuke it from orbit).
ReplyDeleteGlad you and the pups are OK!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are still alive.
DeleteI don't understand the panic ammo buying. I guess people like to buy when the price is high ...
