TP we always keep that in stock anyway. But bread and eggs are the other to hoarder supplies here. There is a woman here selling toilet paper out of her car for 5 dollars a roll. The state actually set up a hotline for idiots like that who are price gouging.

Ya, saw a women with 104 rolls of toilet paper coming out of the store. So she has enough toilet paper for a year, what about food? When you run out of food you won't need that toilet paper because you won't be shitting. People are stock piling it like crazy and people that actually need to buy some can't. Store shelves were empty when we went in.

Attorney General here warned companies that price gouging won't be tolerated. They already went after Menards for hiking up the price on face masks.

Well it is here now. First case in the hospital. When I say here I mean close miles away. The same county I live in. I got to go out today get milk snacks and whatever the boss adds to the list.

Store shelfs taking a hit here.
no pasta or pasta sauce...no paper goods and very little meat.
Lots of fresh produce...go figure.
Went to the mall monday to clothes shop...place was nearly empty.

All restaurants. except for carryout, bars, salons, gyms/fitness, public schools ordered to close. GM, Ford, FCA shutdown on their own along with some malls and other business's.

Meat and a lot of other foods can be frozen. Pasta can sit on the shelf for months. Fresh produce, doesn't last too long. Look for canned or frozen veggies, they're probably out of that too. If it isn't close to you yet it will be or already is and they just don't know about it yet. It will get worse before it get's better. Hope you all stay well.

Weather still nasty here so been working inside. Painted living room and dining room, now have to rip up old carpet and put down some flooring. Installed a new front door with side light last week. Not by myself, I just helped a guy that does that kind of work. Going stir crazy though, need some warm weather and sunshine so we can get outside.

Lynda and I are in that high risk group, over 60, so limiting are exposure best we can. Haven't boarded up the doors and windows, just trying to use common sense. You all do the same.
