It’s that time of year, when people are doing weird hoarding behaviors. I buy dish soap every time I’m at Walmart, because You Never Know!
I try to buy certain things every time I’m at Walmart but this Walmart is crazy. I didn’t need toilet paper this time, but I bought it because the shelves, which were basically full, were beginning to look bare.
The insane thought crossed my mind this morning that even though the economy is recovering, things are off the shelves because the Left has secretly sent orders to manufacturers to keep things in short supply so we’ll get used to it when Biden/Leftists take control of the country. (It took a lot longer to type that than it did for the original thought to form and present itself in it’s full horror.)
So Clean Shower and Ivory dish soap are both on my list for Tuesday, as well as a birthday card for James. I don’t even know his address!!
I noted with dismay that the elevated COVID clamp-down here in CA had flushed the hoarders out to COSTCO; they were borderline mobbing the paper products aisle, again.
I DID NOT see anybody rolling out with stax and stax; I think the “Limit 2 per customer” is still in place.
On the upside: ‘tis the season for CHEESE.
I bought some with literary connections:
A sheep’s milk Manchego made in the La Mancha region of Spain; and a blue Stilton from Nottingham, England for my girls who like Thea Stilton’s “Thea Sisters” — a vaguely “Charlie’s Angels”-esque Scholastic book series wherein the main characters are a group of five female mice who get swept into solving mysteries under the guidance of a female investigative journalist.
And I grabbed a wedge of Ashbrook; a raw milk artisan cheese out of a modest 100-cow dairy concern in Vermont.
