Behaving Like Animals

Why is it we hoard in the wake of a storm.  On our recent snowy day I raced around buying up the town in a such frenzy a squirrel would be proud.  Today upon hearing of an impending storm, here I am again, I just finished "stocking up".  Don't ask me what I bought because most of it I can't justify.  Hmmm a new turkey platter, now that will come in handy when the power goes off.
