What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It also gives you a lot of unhealthy coping mechanisms, trust issues, and a dark sense of humor.

Today's excursion to Costco was........well.......striding toward something surreal.

Modest line outside not unlike queuing for a Disney ride but with folks wiping and spraying down every surface. Limited to 100 at a time in the store. Fairly empty then vs. usual numbers and quiet....much quieter than normal. Everyone trying to stay away from everyone despite the low number in the store. Madness at the bottled water and TP; eggs wiped out - ground beef wiped out. Rest of the beef was available.... Sign outside had a list of out of or low in stock. Didn't really impact what we were there for - just our normal list slightly augmented.

Yeah, there is that certain new feeling/impression when one enters such a store or a supermarket, of the entire atmosphere or mentality present and in particular, one person at a time and collectively. Right? I can't as yet put my finger on it nor describe it in words but it is new. And novel.

Ultimate thread drift: all the way from Venice to Costco.

Only one unusual thing at the local super market. A few things out of or low stock, which is not unusual, particularly if they are on sale, but upon rounding the corner to the paper goods aisle, I laughed out loud (really) as the right side of the aisle (toilet issue, paper towels, boxed tissues), totally BARE! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

The good news was, none of that was on my "List".

Time to bring back Monk" reruns.
