You picked a nice area to live. I've visited relatives in Elgin and there were some in Rockdale too.
I wanted to move to that area (and work in the Austin area) back in the late 70s,
but my wife couldn't take the heat.
That's a really nice green area, not too hot either. Growing up in Del Rio was too close to the equator.

I like your plan. Being ill-prepared has always worried me, but it's something
that I have to accept, due to living in this overpopulated area.

If the food trucks stop rolling in, we can last about 2 weeks longer than our neighbors..
The blizzard of 78 Northeastern United States blizzard of 1978 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
made a long lasting impression on the people up here.
Anytime there is a snow storm warning, they mob the food stores.
Bread, milk and water (1gal bottles) are the big movers.

The weather forecasters sell a lot of milk and bread up here..
