Yes, I'm west of Dallas. We lose our electricity for the least excuse or even no excuse at all. A major storm could leave us in the dark for a long time.

I do feed people when they are under my roof. Perhaps that's why they come!

Made a run to COSTCO. They are extremely well organized and had a mob of customers. I was in and out of there fast.

Traffic is heavy up moving on I-20 and very heavy on I-35W coming from the south, but still moving.
