Empty shelves

We went grocery shopping this morning and man, those shelves are pretty empty.

The one aisle that is really empty is the pet food aisle and we've been having a problem finding cat food for The Sisters. Stop & Shop was pretty much out of cat food but Big Y not only had what we wanted, they had several cases of it. Since it's in a sealed can and keeps forever, we decided to buy two cases. That should feed the little monsters for about a month and a half.

As for The Dog, my daughter orders her food online and has it delivered. She's got plenty of food and if that runs out, she'll just eat whatever we eat.

She's a living garbage disposal. If we give it to her, she eats it. Cucumbers, potato chips, carrots, scrambled eggs, toast, cheese, etc... You name it, she'll eat it.

So I was looking at the predictions for this weekends football games and I gotta tell you, I have no idea who is going to win the Bills / Patriots game.

Every talking head out there has a prediction and they are all over the place. Right now, it's about 60/40 in favor of the Bills.

The one thing that everyone agrees on is that it's going to be cold as hell in Buffalo tomorrow night. Like 0° or below with wind chills in the -teens. I would not want to be playing football (or any other sport) in that weather.

Imagine what it feels like to get hit by a 200 pound linebacker. Now add frostbite to that feeling and I can't begin to imagine what that's gonna feel like.

It will be an interesting game to watch from the comfort of my nice warm couch.

The Bruins won again last night, beating the Flyers 3-2 and moving them to only 3 points behind the Penguins in the wild card race.

Rask was pretty good, making 25 saves out of 27 shots on goal. That's pretty good for his first game of the season.

No sports tonight but I have a load of DVRs to watch.

While I binge-watch Gold Rush, you can binge-click these:

• Attention Alanis Morissette: This is irony.



• When it comes to critters trying to kill you, New Zealand is almost as bad a Australia.



• Phrase that makes me go, "Huh?": "...things that we have not done in the past..."



• I have a feeling that somehow or another, this is going to end up costing me money.



• Only in Florida.
  (And probably also in Alaska)
