Friday Morning in Nerk Ahia

It looks ominous outside. Scraped ice off the van and made it to Walmart, the roads, at this time, are pretty good, but, the forecast is a bit frightening. For us, I am seeing anywhere from 2" to 10" of snow for us. Anticipation is a wonderful thing, Walmart thrives on "anticipation." Regardless of what happens, their shelves are somewhat depleted. Meat shelves were pretty empty, as fast as they were filling them, the food was heading out the door.

The cashier,mentioned that he heard a possible ten inches of snow today, I told him that Steve, the Walmart manager spread that rumor to jack up sales. Anticipation, a great selling tool. It worked for Alfred Hitchcock, "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it."

I don't know if you read my Ripley this morning, Janet Leigh was so traumatized by that "shower scene" in "Psyco," she couldn't shower for years.
