Hurricane Milton post #3: One last ice run before the storm

Ice doesn’t last that long in a cooler, so deciding when to get ice to keep food fresh in the event of a hurricane blackout is an exercise in timing.

The nearby Kwik Stop announced on our neighborhood Facebook group that they’d be open, so they were the first place I went. Unfortunately, they’d sold all their ice yesterday, but it gave me a chance to enjoy the decorative taping done by the neighboring shop:

I appreciate that they’ve embraced their Florida vape-ness:

There was a good chance that Kwik Stop would fail me in my quest for ice, but that’s why I had plans B, C, E, F, and G in place*. Plan B was enough — good ol’ reliable Florida Drive-In, where you don’t have to leave your car (or often in my case, bike) to shop:

I got my ice, took this selfie for the record, and then headed home to finish hurricane prep:

(Some of you may be wondering why there’s no plan D. That’s because that one has a flaw. Plan D is not a sane plan, or to put it simply: D’s nuts.)
