So one of my deep freezers took a shit late Friday eve. I have a chest, which is about 15 years old and bought an upright 2 1/2 years ago. The upright is the one that died. Thankfully, I had enough room in the chest and upstairs refrig/freezer to relocate the stuff from the upright. So, Saturday morning we head to town to pick up another. 1st stop - Sears. Nope! All out. Then Menards - Nope, all sold out. Well shit, no other place in that town that sells appliances. So, this morning I called the appliance store in a small town I drive thru going to work. They said they have 2 left. I told them I'd take 1 of them and be in after work to pay for it. Thankfully, it's a small town and a guys word is good enough to hold something for 6hrs. The owner told me they've sold more freezers in the past month than they have in the past 2 years. He said he had a guy come in last Friday and buy one for his son who lives in Indy, because they were all sold out over there. Indy is 153 miles from us and in another fucking state! WTF?!?! Oh yeah, everyone is scared of the fucking Mexican Beer Flu, so what do they buy? TP and freezers. I guess TP stays fresh longer when chilled!
