You should have seen me this morning. I think you would have laughed. I wanted a Coleman propane stove and Target was selling them. I looked online and my local Target store had "limited quantities" of them with propane. I was at the front door of the store at 8:00 a.m. (their opening time) along with about a dozen other people. As soon as the doors opened a few went running towards the Sporting Goods/Outdoors section. I eyed an old lady and she eyed me as we both saw the only two remaining cans of propane. She got them.

It wasn't fair to me, though.... she was about 8 months pregnant, so it was like two against one. To make it even worse, her seeing eye dog tried to bite me.

Old bitch!

(Seriously, though), one woman beat me to the last two cans of propane. I was lucky to find a supply at Home Depot, about two miles away.

The mentality of us buying stuff for a storm amazes me ... milk, bread and eggs are the first things that everyone buys. What is our fascination with French toast?
