Wow--thanks for sharing. That bit about the supermarkets IS annoying and surprising, but you are right (although I suspect that now that they have been through something like this, they may be a little better prepared next time (one can only hope!) Surprisingly that has happened here in No. VA too. EVERY time we get a snow storm, or the possibility of one, the run on the grocery stores is ridiculous. We've never had a situation where the storm has lasted more than two days or so, and yet you go to the grocery store and forget getting anything like milk, bread or toilet paper. I get the stores have to do that just in time inventory (since milk and bread are perishables) but TP too? It always makes me wonder WHY so many people are running out of TP in a storm! Are we all so scared sh*tless that we go more often!? haha--I don't get it. I just saw there are three more storms churning in the Atlantic with one (Maria?) set to become a hurricane on Sunday with potentially the same path as Irma. [HOPE NOT]--keeping an eye on Jose too as that one looks like it might stay out to see, but we might get hit with some of the bands...am figuring that I better stockpile some stuff in prep for a bitter winter. We have been REALLY fortunate the last 8 years at least, winters have been incredibly mild. Seeing how weather has decided to be INSANE this year (and it got cooler in August, although we're right back up in the 90s now), our luck is bound to run out.

I've all but given up on BDIC, but can't seem to get my shares sold without agreeing to just give them away. Never good to have everything in one basket I know, but am SO tempted to sell EVERYTHING I own and just buy buy buy more NVIDIA stock. They went screaming up this past week and just got price upgrade to $250. Even though the stock is trading at $180, that will look cheap when it goes up by $70! Don't really know how I feel (personally) about AI technology, but its coming no matter what. And here I thought buying NVIDIA at $45 a share was a ton of money. Shows what I know--but man did I ever get lucky. OMVS and Chron on the other hand...........ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Trying to stay patient but I should have listened to your concerns!!! Enjoy your Sunday!
