Check graingers and other supply stores that sell to the public. Many carry water for the field workers they sell to and not many people think of them times like this. Worst case, online order from stores, since it's just the local area being affected you should have no problem ordering it for delivery.

There’s loads of flea markets scattered around the state and you can get some good finds. Englishtown auction is huge, there’s also Columbus flea market that’s pretty big as well. People are always selling used books for super cheap.

Same thing over here in Eastern Camden County. I filled up a bunch of containers just in case. My wife struck out with regular bottled water but got some flavored water. Will we need it? No idea. But I'd rather get some now than when word gets out that we have to.

It’s the same old story: In the mid to late 19th Century all the papists were arriving from Europe to destroy the nation and the WASP way of life. Nationalist Politics of the Know Nothings created fear and intolerance, and the Irish and Italian immigrant were relegated to tenement slums and the worst jobs. They quickly assimilated to American life and through hard work and close family and neighborhood connection build businesses, sacrificed to get their kids educated and filled the local churches. Does this all sound familiar?
