    Heads up Texans. Tax free preparedness weekend THIS weekend.

    http://comptroller.texas.gov/taxinfo...tx98_1017.html

    Texas is having a tax free weekend for preparedness items like generators, and other lower priced goodies. If you've been thinking of doing some buying on supplies, might be a way to save a few bucks.
    Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.

    That is cool. My hat is off to their common sense which is really uncommon in government. It would be nice if they would expand it to more long term rather than focusing on the short term needs.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.

    Agreed. I wish they'd include knives, emergency water storage, rain barrels, Chem toilets, solar lighting, whole house back up power, chain saws (ever cut down storm damaged trees with a hatchet? It sucks). Hopefully, as the tax holiday idea progresses, they'll add some stuff that makes sense.
