Just chillin…
So…much like everyone else in the south, I was at home today due to inclement weather. Our weather was in fact not at all inclement. I appreciate the precautions taken to keep our community safe.

If you stay ready, you won't have to get ready! If you are reading this from anywhere in the southeastern United States then you are likely in full prep mode and readying yourself for a winter storm. You have raided the grocery stores, stacked firewood to make sure you can keep yourself warm, and prepared your mental for a frigid indoor weekend. These are the kinds of storms that you get fair warning about and usually you are able to prep a little before it hits. Unfortunatel
