Milk and Eggs

Crazed citizens, violence...

Tuesday night was a wholesale frantic rush - I just wanted a spark plug for the snowblower, but I got so much more. I bore witness to no less than fifteen individual beatings, maimings, robberies, acts of larceny and hit and runs. It was a rough night.

The cause of all this general mayhem and martial law was, of course, the prediction of a small bit of weather, which whipped the public in all of the Northeast into a Milk and Eggs Frenzy. Women wrestled on tiled grocery store floors all across the state over the last gallons of long-expired milk, armed criminals coordinated raids on gas stations and stuffed their pockets with loose eggs and fistfuls of wadded slices of enriched white bread.

The whole Milk and Eggs mentality belongs to a Grand Old Mythology of long ago that still perpetuates. This is the same Grand Old Mythology that supports the old neo-mystical notion that LSD would expand consciousness and somehow unlock the answers to All This that have been embedded in the mind all along - which is like saying that the top floor of a building is already there, we just have to build up to it.
