That may be the single bougiest thing I've ever read.
Do you believe that when the blue jay or another bird sings and the body is trembling, that is a signal that people are coming or something important is about to happen?

Speaking just for myself... I could only use this for "dry goods" type items... canned or boxed food... paper and cleaning products etc... I don't want someone picking my fresh veggies, meats and poultry... etc...
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."
