There were bound to be plenty of unpredictable consequences as a result of the coronavirus outbreak, but a gang war between rival packs of monkeys in the streets of Thailand?

Sasaluk Rattanachai, a local shopkeeper who was credited by the Daily Mail for capturing the footage, claimed that this is the first time she's ever seen such a clash between the temple monkeys and the city monkeys, two different groups separated by a train track.

Of course, you'll recall that the original novel of THE PLANET OF THE APES begins with a pandemic virus.

I confess, I fell prey to the TP psychosis.

At Costco this morning. We already have a 1+yr supply of TP in every available closet at home procured by the wife to her genteel stds.

Costco opened at 1000. Line to get in goes to the back of the warehouse outside and loops back nearly twice.

I get in 15 min after opening, and they tell everybody Kleenex and Paper Towels all sold out in 10 min. Some TP left, of some 24 pallets, 2 were left when I got there and they offered me one 30 pack of TP. I took it, figuring I could barter with it in case not needed.

I get home facing the wrath of CINCHouse.

Good news, ..our friends who just got married 2 weeks ago returned from their Honeymoon, only to discover they couldn’t find any TP in the stores. We now have their wedding present which they value and boy are they happy. (Who would think it?) (Why do I feel so cheap?)

That’s a great story. My son is on the way back from Cozumel since Monday. He is in for a rude awakening.

First we get Deen Koontz Wuhan flu story. Then Sylvia Browne’s prediction about the Virus. Now we move to a real life Planet of the Apes...Can’t wait to see what’s next.

Maybe they should have brought several cases back and bartered for hand sanitizer.

So, which group is from the wrong side of the tracks?

Coronavirus triggers run on grocery stores, with panic-buying, hoarding and some fighting, too
