Last week were discussing how the
option of the “Langley Project” was infeasible because of the wide open spaces
that we have. If we were down in Tulsa and we had alleyways and large buildings
that we were barricading, we could probably make that option work. But the
tallest building in Langley is only two stories and there are just too many
wide open spaces.
However, I think that where we are at
right now, it is not tremendously necessary. I can easily say that they ceiling
of our store is over twenty feet high. I haven’t broken out the tape measurer
but with the height of the shelves and the space above for back stock, it is
well over twenty feet. Then you have the thousands of square feet that we have
here in the store and as the stock levels diminish, we break down sections,
making the spaces even wider and more open. So, claustrophobia is not a
tremendous issue. Even if it does become an issue, people can go up to the roof
where you can literally run laps if you want to.
I think part of the issue is mental.
Once you tell someone that you cannot do something, there seems to be some sort
of switch that flips in a brain. Just because they cannot do something, they
want to do it more. It could be a “forbidden fruit” thing. It could be the
allure of something being illegal. I can guarantee you, I drank more between
the ages of seventeen and twenty-one than I did from twenty-one to present. But
this situation is different because if you go outside, there is a real chance
that you could die.
I could see where this could be a
problem if we were all riding this thing out in a spider hole. If we were all
crammed in a small home and living on top of one another, I could see how this
would be a terrible situation but this place is so large, you can find quiet
places and be by yourself if need some solitary time. We have enough people to
properly defend our home if we need to and easily maintain things. But yet
there are no so many of us that our supplies are deleting out an alarming pace
or that you cannot just get away from everyone if you need to.
I know I have said this before but I
will say it again. If you are going to be trapped somewhere in the zombie
apocalypse, a grocery store is a pretty good place to be…
