Shit be cray (Thanks, Ferret)-- Costco today. Union, N.J.

Cops shut the place down for an hour or so when people overwhelmed the place and the staff called police for help.

First of all, how long will it take for manufacturers to produce replacement t.p., sanitizers, paper towels and so forth? We can be sure that plants are running overtime because this is a money making opportunity for them.

How many months will the virus last. Will it exhaust itself like the 1918 flu? Of course, we don't know.

What are your plans when the stuff you bought today runs out in one or two months? I got a 1 1/2 years supply of Charmin tp because I bought a case yesterday as the supply in the closet was down to 6 rolls. When I went to put it in the cellar for storage, there were two other cases that I or Kathy bought maybe a few months ago and forgot about. Yeah, I'll use them some day so I will keep them.

Then we get to the produce items. Produce was nearly cleaned out in two stores I went to. Why would you horde produce? It ain't good for more than a few days.

Gas. Ain't nobody hording that. No lines there because the Saudis (our best buddies despite 9/11)
are trying to fuck over the Russians. How long will that last? But nobody is driving anywhere anyway because stuff is closed down or closing down. Peeps are staying home.

That's all I got for now. Just these random thoughts going through my head.

1. news from Canadian radio

A woman order 48 rolls of tp online for her family. Something got goofed up and she received 48 cases delivered to her door. They figure it will last 12 years. She better stay anonymous.

Most of out tp is made in Canada, especially British Columbia.

2. The Saudis aren't trying to fuck over Russia

They are trying to fuck over the US. We’ve been increasing production of oil and have started producing light crude quality. They (and Russia) don’t like that. And Saudi’s can produce it cheaper than anyone else. It hurts Russia yes. But it will hurt US based oil production more.

3. More nuts ---- seems K ordered cat litter from Amazon. 50 lbs. Not a horde. This is our usual supply

Anyways, the stuff didn't arrive. Seems the driver pulled up to the house and someone said he lived there and offered to take it inside so the driver didn't have to carry it up the driveway.

Driver gave it to the "resident" and drove away.

I wish I could see the thief's face when he opens the box and finds he humped 50 pounds of cat litter home.

4. Sorry to hear. My husband's truck was broken into many years ago when we lived

in the twin cities. There was a case of oil for our oil drinking truck and a bag of kitty litter, very helpful stuff in northern climes and we did have a cat. Anyways, someone took the kitty litter and left the oil. I still remember my husband's look of confusion when he told me. We still laugh.

5. We used to joke in the office that you could leave

a $5 bill and a pen on the desk. In the morning, the pen would be gone.
