I think it's getting obvious to the most casual observer at this point. Grace looked me dead square in the eye yesterday and said "you need to buy more bullets".
I might have expected "we need new drapes" or "this furniture is getting a little long in the tooth - we need to look at some new stuff", but "more BULLETS"?
Ya gotta love a woman like that!
What I haven't told her is that I think I need more magazines - I've only got 7 currently, and some of those date back nearly 40 years (at least that's when I got them, probably not when they were manufactured... they are "former Marines", and as we all know, Uncle Sugar buys from the lowest bidder), and nary a one of them is my favorite 40 round "ambush mag" that allows me to be obnoxious 10 rounds longer while hunting for cover in the event of an ambush.
Grace never batted an eye nor asked the usual "what are you doing that for?" when I hauled out my old dusty rattle rig and started checking the straps and buckles for wear and repair a few days ago, and making sure it was sized right to ride well, and had all the right stuff where it needs to be.
I can feel it coming in the air, ready or not. I'm not about to go hunting for them - not even on a dare - but if they come hunting for me, I'd like to be ready to greet them.
There is only so much resupply you can do off the dead guys laying around. Grace is probably right - I probably need more bullets.
And magazines.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
