As yet, I do not have any stories on the TOD....except what I reported yesterday.....

Good morning, all.

My wife just called.

She's in line at the market

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.

My wife went to the market yesterday in Austin, but many shelves were empty.

She left this morning, about 7:30, to see if she could do any better.

Hopefully, she'll be back by dinner time.

Glad Sandy’s well enough to do this on her own.

I braved enough at the markets yesterday. I may go to Walmart, but not for food.

My thoughts and well.

Also I am more concerned now if I will find the ingredients I need to make my salads.

Also, it snowed here

My wonderful sister-in-law Jo just emailed me to check on me. She and Randy are moving to Eaton, Ohio.

. Didn't they move to this house not too long ago?

No. They moved to their current house five or so years ago.

Oh, this is the new house they are moving to. I thought it was the current home. Either way I didn't realize it had been 5 years.

I was going to take a quick run to the market this morning but it looks icy out there.

Jane · « **Reply #40 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:06:47 AM »

Bruce I hope you are right that they are not hoarding fruits and vegetables as that is exactly what we need. And milk, but not for a few days.

Jane · « **Reply #41 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:12:49 AM »

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.

Jane · « **Reply #42 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:16:58 AM »

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.

Jane · « **Reply #43 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:19:34 AM »

What I am seeing in photos & reading about reminds me of the long lines during the gas shortages. Even then, you couldn't hoard the stuff or sell it on the black market.

Jane · « **Reply #44 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:19:40 AM »

Our modern day black market is the internet.

John G. · « **Reply #45 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:38:03 AM »

It's been a morning. We're having bulk trash pickup on Monday and I had to get stuff out there. the treadmill and the exercycle, neither of which has been used in 15 years, is out on the curb, along with a broken vacuum, some old side tables and assorted other junk.

Good riddance.

I was also able to put together a wire shelf unit in the closet that Joy gave me a couple of weeks ago when she was moving. I filled half of it and cleared some floor space in the garage.

John G. · « **Reply #47 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:39:09 AM »

And I sweating like crazy.

John G. · « **Reply #48 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:40:05 AM »

I need to take a little rest. I'm headed to Fredericksburg tonight to hear a Buddy Holly tribute band -- so far, it hasn't been canceled.

John G. · « **Reply #49 on:** March 14, 2020, 09:40:34 AM »

Got new direction this morning. I may have to go in to work after all. We'll see.

I had forgotten about Husbands and Wives until I saw a clip of it in the documentary about Allen's cinematographer, Carlo di Palma. There was a reason I forgot all about it, and I'm trying hard to forget it again.

There was a very sad scene in Before Sunset where the couple sail past Notre Dame, and they talk about the day when it would not be there and the next church would arise on the scene, just as the cathedral had been built on the site of another church.

Stella, Thatch, and I had a nice nap together. I'm puttering about today. I just pulled the ground beef from the freezer to make chili tomorrow. After that's accomplished, I'll thoroughly clean the kitchen area. I'm going to hold off on mopping the floors and the bathroom for the end of the week, along with the laundry.

I'm bummed that the Big Supermarket does not sell ground pork.

I'd go.

But one question: Was it a budget concern that Phyllis's backup boys are clad only in boxers?

I'm up, I'm up - seven hours of sleep.

Well, they can close down the parade but they can't close the date!

Thank you but today is PI DAY. St Patrick’s is the 17th.

That’s beautiful is that the house they’re buying or selling?
