^^ You've got that right! Yesterday I got a note from my brother, The Mad Scientist. The poor guy lost his wife to cancer late last summer and at 76 years old is adjusting to living alone. He's doing pretty well but this note I got yesterday tells me he'll be ok. He's the oldest and I'm the youngest and there are 12 years between us but out of the four of us he and I are the most alike. A couple of the things we share are a very low level of tolerance for BS and a sarcastic sense of humor. His comments tell me that he's getting largely back to his old self:
"just picked up mail and went to the local groc store. The only bare shelves I saw there were those that normally have paper towels and toilet paper --- totally devoid of product! I already mentioned the recent trip to Costco a few days ago where cartloads of TP were leaving the store. What in the name of idiocy is that all about? Do folks think that if someone in their household contracts the virus the symptoms will be just like dysentery?
I''ve not been following every much of the hoopla but see some on line and a few comments on tv., among which I haven't noticed any "----- get our virus hack folks! Make your own super virus filter using our directions and TP!" which is about the only thing that occurs to me -- other than some ill found rumor that TP manufacturers are gonna be hardest hit ---- mortality is predicted to be very high in that business. There surely will be a terrible shortage of product over the next couple of years! Stock up now while supplies still last!
My raisin and craisin supplies being a little more important to me than having 100 rolls of TP on hand, I checked those at that local grocery store --- plenty there but I didn't buy any as I can get over twice the amount of raisins and nearly 4 times the amount of craisins for the same $ at Costco DV. now watch when I happen to get by there someone will have figured out how the TP filters work better if they are smeared with mashed raisins or craisins ------------- "
Yep his attitude is on the way back...
