the biggest favor that anyone can do us is just to stay home and move your car off the street so that, that helps us get to everybody faster. I’m just stocking up on a few things I smelled. It’s hard to find. That’s what I’m looking for right now. I’m super excited because I do body work for a living. So tomorrow is going to be a good day for me. I’m stocking up on my snacks in my staples for the two days that we are snowed in. I will, my belly will be full. Well, of course, the alcohol, we were seeing that a big influx of the alcohol. We’re seeing the snack aisles, storm’s coming storms coming. What kind of prep are you doing? We’ve got all the shovels ready. The gas in our snowblowers this year has been extremely challenging because of supply issues. I can’t go and get a shovel from anyone right now. Salt is right behind that.
