Adaptation to COVID world

Thanks!

And thus ends my learning for today.

 

Cute bun!

Here's one definition of "Poe."

 

How soon will your hair places be opening? Gotta be sooner than ours.

I'm only 30 miles from the SC border.

Meanwhile, people are ingesting more snack foods, drinking more ("like New Year's every day"), gambling more, watching TV more and aborting more. Because health!

Most Americans Are Not Going To Be Able To Handle What Lies Ahead

 

Hair places aren’t open here yet. Flea markets, however, are.

 

Went online to try check for disinfectant cleaning products because we haven't seen any wipes or spray available at any stores. I checked Lysol.com. They have pictures of 28 products they sell ... all of them with a note: "NOT AVAILABLE"

 

The level of smarm in that story is impressive.

 

The only way that I know of to get that sort of stuff is to make a regular circuit of the stores near you that would stock it. Learn where they go on the shelves and check. Find out if their deliveries come on regularly scheduled days and check right after them. This involves being in stores more than you'd prefer, I'm sure, but wear a mask and gloves, check your spots and leave and your exposure is minimized. Once you find the stuff, you can quit going - but if you do go, always check. You never know.

I've found gloves, Lysol spray, Chlorox wipes, antibacterial cleaners and more this way. Online is pure luck, and most of that sort of thing I've tried for sold out even if it showed to be in stock and back ordered or cancelled.

 

We've been changing up the days when we go, but still no luck on gloves or wipes in weeks. Anybody want to trade gloves for some toilet paper? The Mrs. found a large package of it last week at Costco.

 

Hitting in my backyard is only saving thing about this. Callaway dimpled foam balls fly nicely.

Monday night with ribeye on BBQ and Stella is a nice change (would’ve been in office to 8 otherwise).

 

It's like I said, all you can do is be persistent about looking. I got two boxes of gloves at Home Depot, and I just got two more from a medical supply although they about gouged my eyes out, ten bucks a box. I gritted my teeth and pulled the trigger, so I have gloves for a bit. I got a tall can of Lysol and two containers of bleach wipes at Walmart at 5 on a Saturday afternoon, simply because I chose to walk an aisle that I didn't need anything from just to check, and there they were.

 

Poe?
I love The Gold Bug and The Cask of Amontillado.

 

I always walk those aisles any time I am in a store. I think that's a must at this point as we try to limit how often we go shopping.
