So the other night there was this news story on about Doomsday preppers in our area. Something something making sure they have an underground cave nearby with supplies something. And I was all "not sure if they mean it or are just bored"
so we were going to watch it for the kicks and giggles. But then we fell asleep.
Fast-forward to today! We decided that it was silly to bleach a teeny tiny load of socks every week, so if we got enough socks to last us both two weeks we could go 2 weeks and bleach a decently-medium load every two weeks instead of a mini load every 1 week. Environmental protection you know! So.
We went to Costco first for our usual stock-ups. It's allergy season, so I NEED all 18 boxes of those aloe-infused kleenex! Anyways, Costco was
empty. We got front row parking, didn't have to wait in line to check out, no lines for free samples (strawberries and shortcake and whipped cream on a toothpick in a tiny bathroom cup. Ambrosia!) nothing. On a Saturday? What what!
So we went to Walmart next. Not only was Walmart empty as well, but the whole men's socks and underwear section was cleaned out! Sock shortage!
So we went to Winco next. Empty! Front row parking! Short lines! Un-crowded aisles!
So, we could only come to one conclusion. Everyone else watched the Doomsday preppers, they realized that we are in fact doomed so they ran out real quick and got everything they needed and then went home and stayed there, AND after the apocalypse there will be no more washing machines, hence all the men needed socks and underwear causing a sock shortage in Walmart. Voila! Detective Liela solves the case yet again!
