There's A Chance Of Rain This Weekend

What are you still doing here? Haven’t you heard? Big storm’s a-comin’! You should be out right now panic shopping! Few of the preparedness guides I have seen thus far have addressed this matter with sufficient import, so I will bring it up: Do make sure you are well stocked for alcohol. People tend to forget to check the liquor cabinet while they load up on bottled water and crackers, but believe me, if you are trapped in your apartment for a couple of days the LAST thing you want to do is go into convulsions because you neglected to pick up an extra handle of Wild Turkey. Also, remember to get a decent selection of mixers. Sure, you can drink things neat in a pinch, but why should you have to? Be ready! You’ll thank me later… IF WE LIVE. Anyway, go, shop, do, etc. But before you head to store, why not print out some of this fine Awl content to read by candlelight as the world crumbles around you?

Good luck, all. Hopefully we’ll see you back here on Monday.
