Use cheap vodka for hand sanitizer. After the corn cobs. Take a mouth of vodka ( probably cheaper than TP by now). Swish it around in your mouth then spit it on your hands and scrub vigorously. Repeat till staggering. Restock cheap vodka. Shell more corn cobs, two red and a white to insure the system is working.

They’re doing very well. They don’t want to panic for Ritchie’s sake. But Jerry Helper has gone off the deep end. He has put barbed wire all around his house. Millie tried, but couldn’t talk him out of it.
