Brilliant idea! I would not have thought of duct tape. I understand the fish-bowl feeling. We were here around a month before we got blinds in all the windows.
There are blinds, but if I open them too far, I still get the fishbowl feeling, so at least with the sheers up, that will end.
I forgot that I tossed 1/4 of a jar of mayo when I moved, and went to make a sandwich out of one of those big rolls that Walmart sells (Cardena’s called them “bolsas” I think,) and some canned chicken and cream cheese, and realized the top half of the roll needed mayo. So I stopped at Lin’s and got a jar. There must have been a dozen different kinds of mayo/sandwich spread there, in small as well as large jars.
The small jars were almost as much as the large jars, and I’m thinking this store must be Southern Utah’s answer to Trader Joe’s. Some things are just real eye-openers!
