OK. I’ve been in work mode since 5am. I’m going to be writing frantically all day. The political and economic world are about to shutdown. Half of the world leaders are going to get sick really soon. Banks are shutting down.

I don’t want to cause a panic, but I just want to let my little readers know what’s up. If you don’t have a stockpile of TP, get it now. In this part of the country, it’s all gone. If you don’t have a stockpile of cash, get it now. (After you use the ATM, clean your hands and the steering wheel of the car.)

I will be here and on twitter round the clock for the next week.

Your college students will be the best help, because we will probably get sick, but they will be okay. Make them understand that they have a responsibility to the family and the community.

Get medicine, soup, and soda. Whatever you need for when you all get a fever and child.

Do not visit your parents. Even if they already bought corned beef and want to make everyone dinner for the extended family for St. Patrick’s day. Hello, mom!

I’ll be back all day.
