I missed a couple days. It's Saturday. Woo woo!
But I was out early this morning and got toilet paper. At 635 I got the next to the last package -- and it was generic. Not Charmin with the obnoxious bears, not Northern, not even Scott. Generic.
I don't get it.
But then it's not really my area of expertise but I've read a couple stories and seen a couple on TV. I guess there are two kinds of toilet paper, consumer and industrial, and the twain don't meet. You can't switch overnight from one to the other. And no one keeps a backlog of TP because it's a low profit, high volume kind of good. You know how big the packages are. Takes a lot of storage.
And it doesn't matter that there's a Charmin plant in the next county. I kind of get that. Kind of.
Things are better, right? 😀
But it's good to see that people are wearing masks.
And I did get Clorox wipes, which we haven't seen in a store since early March. Wow. Excitement.
We went out for ice cream last night. Everyone was wearing a mask. We hadn't been for ice cream since before the quarantine. Maybe before winter. It was good (my idea, so I get credit).
But I live in a county just east of the line where Pennsylvania where they are beginning to normalize. That has to be in "". Not sure based on our governor's guidelines how much changes 10 miles away from where we are.
Can't claim to be getting used to it.
But today is Saturday. Derby Day. Arkansas Derby day!
One thing I've done too much of is watch horse racing -- the one sport that is actually going on live and for real these days. In fact, I was ahead for quarantine (betting -- why else would you watch?) until yesterday. ):
Arkansas Derby. So many horses that they had to break it in two!
Should be fun.
So, that's Saturday. Week 8 of quarantine. Sigh.
