    @skippygirlsmom - yah I am not sure what the deal is with people going to the stores and buying everything up (still) here. If you can't get there early in the morning or the morning after a shipment comes in they are (still) out of most all staples, soup, pasta, breads, etc..

    @shanaber We went through that about 3 weeks ago, then people start to realize that their squirrel pile of food is getting way to big and things get back to normal - or close to normal if you exclude sanitizers and TP.
    After seeing the mad buying that occurs before/after natural disasters ( Hurricane/Tornadoes) I think some of that mentality/memory floods back into people and they just can't resist. Can't imagine the buying spree that the Disaster Prepers have gone through above what they already have hoarded away. I remember the last time I moved I just quit buying ( except milk and fruit ) - lived on what was in the fridge -cupboards and 2 weeks later when I packed up I still had more dry/canned goods than I wanted to move.

    @MNLittleFinn @7lenny7 @AlphaHowls and any other runner looking for a virtual race/challenge for May . Gatoraide 19. 91 or 191 km

    Here stores are pretty well stocked now. Plenty of paper products even. Just picked up some more Clorox wipes today even. We are in week 4 of "stay at home" though so at this point the panic buyers are like "umm where am I going to put the 600th roll of tp again?" so the stores are catching up. Also, more stores have limited "1 per person" on the biggest panic buys. That really helped too.

    Still have not seen any hand sanitizer in any store though. Plenty of soap though.

    Not quite back to pre-corona days, but we are getting there.

    @PastorVincent Our stores have a limit on some items too. It's great, until you realize that some people, like myself, are shopping for 3 households. If there is a limit of one and everyone needs said item, two will have to do without until next time. I'm not sure how they can get around this issue.

    @eleanorhawkins I love your relationship with Hal. I think he loves you and wants you to be the best you can be. Glad your daughter is increasing her vocabulary. :wink:

    We had thunderstorms with heavy rain last night -- just what we needed to ruin today's fishing. This morning was cloudy and mid 50s - just about perfect running weather. Hip felt as good as it has in a while.
