Dang. I really should pay more attention to the news. I don't turn on the TV much anymore. The English language sites suck; and the free newspapers aren't handed out at my stop (and unless it's on the chair next to me, I ain't diggin in the trash - like some.

However, I did watch the news this morning. I knew there was a trucker's strike. After all, diesel is more than $7 a gallon!!! ($4 in the US). Still, it all seemed to be in Catalonia. Shops running low on food? Ya, in smaller cities, like Zaragoza, although saw an article about Madrid shops, but gathered from the headline that there was no crisis. But now that I think about it.....

Popped into the supermarket last night (Monday), late, after 9pm. It's usually empty by then, but not last night. I thought it was weird. Still, I bought only scotch, cheese, and chicken.

Only today, as we sat on the bus at Plaza Castilla for 20 min, when we should've been heading for the highway......

So..... stock up on food? Na... I'm not into panic buying. Plus, if food runs out, then boom, the start of my much needed diet.
