[Ansteorra] Gulf Wars traveling question...

[james at crouchet.com]

I will add that I do not know the state of merchandise inside the 
Walmarts.They were open and had plenty of cars in the parking lots but I do 
not know if the rumors of them  being short stocked are true at this time. 
That could just be a persistent rumor from months ago.

Logically, I would think Walmart, of all companies, could and would pour in 
supplies to keep their stores at their normal stock levels but I do not know 
this for a fact.
