Would you look at that!?!

Scenes from a local grocery, yesterday

I was working on a long post and lost interest as things out there beyond the Farm whirled around.

So I give you a few short takes.

Hereabouts, there is no shortage of TP or bottled water. One explanation is that we Country Mice are woefully ignorant of world events. Could be.

Another is that we Country Mice are so well prepared for the end of the world as we know it, i.e., the next hurricane or tornado, that we’re already stocked up. Could be.

Yet another is that we live in the middle of nowhere and have no conception of supply chains. Could be.

Here on the Farm, we are good to go on TP. There was a time when we harbored a toilet paper thief. [Cannot find the classic pic.] But we’re good now.

Note to Daughter C: Text me. I can mail you a roll or two if you need it.

  1. Heh. Toilet paper. Well it could be worse. There was a time – or so I understand – when the Sears & Roebuck supplied the necessary item. My kids loved their Christmas toy catalogs – we didn’t use them for other purposes! But sadly, they are no more. And you couldn’t exactly stock up on them anyhow!
    Still…isnt it funny that that’s on the top of everybody’s list!
    And water. Why water? I don’t understand that one.

    And…I stay stocked up on TP anyway. I do not want to run out. When we lived in Germany, they still had the tanks that would go through town and collect “nightsoil” to take out to the ag fields for fertilier.

    Did I mention that I really am glad I live now??

    1. I am going to address this soon but it does make sense, even if folks haven’t rationalized it thusly. So you wake up, first things first. Maybe again before you leave for work or school. Back home in the evening. But for the majority of your day (unless you are a person of leisure) you make use of TP that you did not have to supply. Work. School. Restaurants. Wherever. And now you’re going to be home 24/7 X 3 . Makes sense to me!

    2. I don’t get water either in this potential situation. How frequent are boiled water alerts where you are? They are not unusual here. Lots of reasons. In general it’s a good thing but I don’t get it in this situation.

    1. Ah man. Yes it’s funny but really? Sheep are stupid enough as it is, no need to rub it in. I mean look at the reset of the dummies being entertained. So stupid.
