Modells and costco

There have been several explosions,, last night in Florida a propane tank company ,,Blue Rhino went up in flames.. 53,000 tanks.

There was another explosion in Texas a month ago, wiped out a business. Can't remember what,, but it was huge.

One wonders and now Costco is selling survivalist food,, I have shopped there since San Diego. 1982? ish. They are now selling survivalist food. I was thinking of buying some just in case. It lasts for years also a compressor and generator.  Nothing wrong with a little preparation. I was so startled to see Costco selling survival food,, is this a business move or do they know something I do not.. I believe Costco is run by Christian Fundamentalists.. It has been successful and it has changed with the years.. It used to be a good bargain, but now,,well things are much higher and sometimes much higher than other stores..

 I found out how the store works,,they charge a large fee for membership and then use it to buy goods at cost?  Or surplus, many of their prices are higher and some are lower and sometime the quality is very questionable sometimes the quality is very good, and they do have a good refund system.

 I bought my Apple performa computer from them back in 95 ish and the damn thing kept crashing,,I , a new computer person thought it was my fault. This is the computer that EG hacked later and later Apple requested I send my hard drive in to be fixed... Only then did I realize it was not my fault,boy was I pissed. It is funny about blogging, I was blogging back then but had no idea what it was called,,as seems usual in my life, the term had not been invented yet. Like harassment, or no fault divorce. Yeah  and like other issues.

These are only a few of the issues that I ran into in my life that has occurred that make me believe I am, like others a Modell. a person whose life is on the first 100 of the bell curve swing on the x-y chart. I think people readily exist like this, because someone has to start trends,,political, social, food, clothing all are trends that move through our society. 

I first noticed this when I was much younger the first time within my memory I noticed was bell bottom jeans.. I wore them when I was ten years old, much before the hippy regime. They were light blue and I had two pair,, treasured. 

I could  not find bell bottoms anywhere,except at this Army and Navy store,  everyone was wearing flats and capris pants..short and skinny. I proudly wore my bell bottoms,,I wonder if this was to foretell my joining the Navy so many years later which by the way was an accident of age. The Navy and Army have the oldest enlistment age,,I barely got under the wire with the Navy by 2 months otherwise it would have been the Army.

 I first read of modells in a book about revolutions, I was doing some reading for Clinton, yes that Clinton,, about the structure of revolutions and it was in one of them. 

 Luck or fate you figure.
I just read that there is a promotion freeze on within the military..Are we broke yet?
