Strip the grocery store shelves bare before your neighbors can get there to do their normal shopping.

Buy a few pallets of toilet paper. Fight in the isles at Walmart if necessary.

I’m glad someone got to see something! We went outside (live in the country) and couldn’t see a thing. Must be cloudy here. No stars either. Thank you for sharing! That’s beautiful!
