Were just happy it's not gas. I went thru that long ago and don't want too again. I had two cars the lic. plates were even and odd so it wasn't that bad. I had to park the car in line at the gas station for three days till it opened. That was in the SF Bay area

Don't forget their entire supply chains.

And as mentioned above about grocery stores closing, I can see that being addressed with online ordering, having the store clerks gather and bag the items, then the customers pick up curbside. Lots of that going on already at most of our local grocery stores.

Most of the chain stores have added curb side pickup in the last year. Costs us $5.00 plus tip. Someone picks you list and delivers it to your car at a predetermined time.

and intend on going. Hell or high water. The advisory fella from Ed Jones investments called me in a panic. I told him to let it ride, and oh,

If your out of TP I'm selling corn cobs for a buck apiece. You get four passes per cob by turning it a 1/4 turn. I've got pine needles too for a fresher scent!

You always use a red corn cob first, then a white one to see if you need another red one.

Well here in Arizona the outdoors isn’t closed yet. The dogs and I have been out enjoying the nice weather since the rain stopped.

Casinos and restaurants here are closed but that doesn’t affect me.

Up here in my neck of the woods (no pun intended) most everything is closed but Home Depot is still open and so is Winco but I could only get one bag allotment of TP as per the sign. Only place in town that was inhabited.

I'm doing a rebuild on a rental unit and It's hard to find anything but a Burger King drive through for lunch, I'm just about burgered out..... Tedd

Funny you said that as I just told the wife I had so much home cooking that I wanted a burger on Monday. Or maybe a hot dog who knows. Home Depot was closed out here it had armed guards watching the outside. I see the post man a good friend stayed 10 ft away from me talking to him and he had gloves on. Gas is still going down $2.59 gallon. Were doing fine and Rite Aid called me for a pick up i'll get it on Monday. My neighbor gassed his truck up at Costco and 2 cars in line. I guess no where to go. Anybody here sick yet or have systems. When is our $1200 check coming in ? I need to get out and spend some money.
Gerald staying home bored No Baseball now I'm sick.

I went to Terre Haute yesterday, checked on grandma's house and ran my old van. Looted the TP and papertowels and my gas cans. Went home after that.

So now people can get a bit of cheese with their whine... All is well here in Poteau, have not ventured around much but did get to mow the weeds today. The princess always does the food shopping alone because if I go with her she says its like she's accompanied by a toddler. She just wants to get in and get out, I like to wander and look at stuff. Anyways, still short on paper goods and some meats and poultry but getting better. I guess the hoarders ran out of room or money.

It's been a while, since I've climbed trees. Lately, I've been getting back into practice, looting neighborhood artwork:



The real reason as to why toilet paper has suddenly become overvalued is because one can prepare wonderful meals with it:
