Be Prepared!
I am not a prepper. In general, you’re not going to need it. It’s expensive and heavy, the people pushing it are probably ripping you off, and if something really bad happens you’re probably still hosed.

Reject the frame
A long time ago (2010) at a job far away (Colorado) my boss handed my coworker a laptop with a virus on it, but also with data for an important client. My coworker took the laptop and spent hours removing the virus and making sure that no traces of it remained and that he had saved all the files he could. He was proud of his work and handed the laptop back to the boss.

Mississippi is in one of the four major flyways of migratory birds in North America.
