Please don’t forget that here in Charlottesville we are under a pandemic alert (condition yellow). Up to 327 C-Villeites (C-Villians?) could die.

Officials encouraged families to compile an emergency kit with a flashlight, medicine, toilet paper, a portable radio and enough non-perishable food and bottled water for two weeks. Peake said families should not stock up on antiviral drugs like Tamiflu and Relenza because it would cause a shortage for those who need the drugs most.

I don’t know about you, but I’m going to go get as much Tamiflu as possible since the black market drug trade would be a great way to make some spare cash. Don’t forget to pick up a lot of disposable diapers and a manual can opener.

I wish that the Y2k store on the downtown mall was still open. I remember how important that store was for that traumatic period of human existence.
