All the late night talk shows are repeats.  I'd read that most, if not all (at least on broadcast stations), are going on hiatus for the time being, and they'll just show previous episodes.

Old funny is still funny, but if they're too topical (and most are), they won't age too well.

I recommend Amazon Prime for some fun movie watching for free or, of course, you can trawl the Tube of You, which always has interesting stuff to watch and hear.

I've decided to spend much of the next week cleaning the apartment as much as possible.  I'm not fond of the idea of people coming and going through my things, and my neighbor Judy will be in and out feeding the cats and dumping the litter, so I'd like the place to be really clean and in order.

But, the line is more than a full aisle long, wrapped around another aisle.

She got the last parking space in the lot.

And, she left home at 7:30 this morning.

I have frozen blueberries, peas, & corn on my shopping list.  I suspect those will not be available.  Normally we go to Costco for those which is why we haven't purchased more yet.

I was fortunate not to work when the kids were young.  If a snow storm was expected I could usually get to the market before 5:00, not always but most of the time.  If I went later I might find the milk, and other essential items, almost sold out .  While the lines were long the baskets were not overly full.  People just purchased what they needed for the expected amount of time, and you didn't want too much in the frig & freezer if you lost power.

I just returned from the salad bar. It's always quiet on Saturdays. It's right next to a business park, so most of their customers are office workers. No noticeable difference today. I asked the manager if they were having any problems getting supplies. No. Customers? No. But they've been getting a lot of delivery orders.

Many small businesses could be hurt by these shutdowns. I will do my best to support small businesses.

A woman at the salad bar, a newbie customer, told me that there was a fight at the gym. Apparently someone coughed and that prompted a woman to give the cougher hell. Sigh. I must assume that many people are feeling stressed and tense.

Rain is predicted here for the next several days, about ten days in a row. That's unusual for us, but we need it and it's not likely to be constant. We need breaks so we don't flood and also so we can run out to buy provisions--if there be any.

Back from putting gas in the motor car, and then a proper lunch at Jerry's Deli - when I arrived there were only about four tables with customers, but when I left there were about twelve.  It's been deadly there, my server Monica told me.  Had a breakfast burrito - excellent.

I'm hoping that all those people who stockpiled toilet paper and hand sanitizer will realize that they really DO have enough now and STOP it! I'm also hoping that people will get cabin fever and start going out again, assuming they're not sick.

But I suspect that some of the current changes will stick. I like the idea of having tissues and hand sanitizer in public spaces, as DR George mentioned at the theater. I especially like for people to STAY HOME when they're sick. I hope that more people will have paid sick leave as a result of this. I hope this serves as an overdue wake-up call and we see some lasting changes.

I just returned from the salad bar. It's always quiet on Saturdays. It's right next to a business park, so most of their customers are office workers. No noticeable difference today. I asked the manager if they were having any problems getting supplies. No. Customers? No. But they've been getting a lot of delivery orders.

Many small businesses could be hurt by these shutdowns. I will do my best to support small businesses.

I am glad they still have customers.  We might go out again next week  We have purchased credit at Beaches so in a way we have helped them.  It is the staff that won't be getting tips I worry about.

I recommend Amazon Prime for some fun movie watching for free or, of course, you can trawl the Tube of You, which always has interesting stuff to watch and hear.

I still haven't watched Good Omens that was originally on Amazon Prime last year. ::)

That is worth watching.

Totally crazy.  People who need food delivered from the markets can't get it.  One example, this morning a friend spent 40 minutes ordering on line only to be told it would be delivered on March 26th.

Back from a good show and a very small audience but a good one.  About half the reservations were no-shows - would have been a nice house, otherwise.  The theater has spent a lot of money making sure everything is clean, the box-office, concession, and ushers wear gloves - but you can't fight hysteria - I'm sure the no-shows were at the market.
