Knowing for the last 6 months that we will be moving I started to let my supplies run down so I don’t have to pay to move 500 rolls of TP and stuff that I could readily get just a few weeks ago. So when everyone started hoarding TP was like I have enough. But then I took count and I have enough to last me into mid April. I have been trying to score a package of TP for over a week now and I have come up empty. I even check the web constantly. Nothing. I went early to Target and Costco Saturday and Sunday and I missed out. I went early this morning to Target and I was 3rd in line. Guaranteed to get a package. When I got to the shelves there were less than 25 packages total. That’s all they had for the day. Even fewer paper towels. I got my one allowed package of 12 rolls of TP. About a months worth. So I plan on taking as much TP in my luggage I can and I’ll worry about getting more after I move. But then as I was opening my browser it was still on Amazon and a package of TP popped up as being available and shipped April 6-28. Got it so I’ll have a backup and I won’t have to go early to fight the crowds cuz I’m getting desperate. My container shows up 6 weeks later and I’ll have part of a package in there.

I sincerely hope this madness has calmed down by the time I get situated because walking thru Costco Saturday and Sunday I saw so many empty shelves. Eggs, chicken, hot dogs, all forms of beef except the really expensive cuts, hot pockets, etc were all gone. And I’m low on food. Surprising thing was there was choke bottled water.

This move couldn’t happen at a worst time. At least the president mentioned not taking the next step for at least 2 weeks. I move in 9 days. Now if my flight doesn’t cancel, I’m hoping I dodged a bullet.

At some point people will stop panic buying and the supply chain will stabilize. It is just a shame that some have ratcheted up the fear to such insane levels just to cut a profit. Yeah people are going to die and we will have to learn to wait for some of the basics a bit longer than we are used to, but the world is not ending. In six months we will all be looking back at the silly over reactions that will probably seem rather embarrassing than anything. Not to minimize the danger. The longer people stand in lines for toilet paper the more chances there are to spread the virus.

I think we should put a bounty out on toilet paper hoarders to shame them now rather than wait until the all clear. Post pics of your friends ridiculous TP stash and win cash!

AOC has all the answers.  Too bad they are ALL wrong!   

   It's getting out to the country now with a community spread infection at Kualoa Ranch. 
18 immediate family members in house, media extended  to 25 total property count

     Funny thing is I got wind of this 5 hrs and 15 minutes before Dr reported it.
Gotta love that coconut wireless.

Yikes!  Yeah, I heard about it before the "official" reports as well. 

Starting telework starting today.  Made one last trip to Sam's yesterday, but to get a larger monitor to facilitate working from home better.  Sam's actually wasn't bad yesterday.  It was crowded, but lines were moving.  Some people trying to hoard water and also trying to argue that they didn't see the sign for 2 limit (not sure if it was per person or transaction).  They did have a lot of stock and could see a lot in the back.  No TP.  Lots of meat, but mostly in the back waiting for the cutters to process.

Next is a scope on your EDC pistol

You should see this thing!  I got a 27" monitor and was close to getting a 32" model.  Good thing I didn't as the 27" monitor is bordering too big. 

Size
does
matter

 
But seriously, mostly for multitasking capability.  My office workstation has two large monitors, so transitioning to working from just a laptop is a PITA. 

And the RDS is just fine.  As Rockette. . .

How was whale?

How was whale?

Meh, nothing special.  Had it prepared a bunch of different ways.  The sashimi was interesting.  It seemed more like beef tartar. 

Kangaroo was really good though.  Very tasty for a lean section of meat.  You should check it out to keep yourself all swole.

You animal!

Sacrifices will be made to do so.  "No, I do not eat meat. And no, I do not own any firearms".

Stock market trading has stopped due to trading hitting a 7% loss. The dollar is growing stronger by the day and other strong currencies are at 20 and 30 year lows against the dollar. This usually is a sign that there is, or is going to be a global recession. If it is not already here it is coming. And I think we will see a recession here as well. Our economy remains strong even though we are headed towards a recession. Global investors and countries are buying dollars because we have the best and most stabile currency in the world. Even gold and silver are dropping meaning that the usual safe harbors are no longer being thought as safe and stabile. The 10 year treasury is going up meaning investors are leaving this safe harbor for the dollar. Very weird market right now.

The market reopened now. It’s still dropping.

Oil is at a 20 year low due to the trade war between Russia and Saudi Arabia. This is going to hurt our oil industry. Hard. We will have cheap gas for a while. That’s a good thing. We’ll see some oil companies go under or be absorbed by the bigger guys. Fracking is going to slow or stop. It remains to be seen how long they will are going to fight it out. One of them will have to give up eventually. I’m predicting it will be Russia as Saudi Arabia is a very rich country. I think they can outlast Russia. Actually, I think this is going to hurt us more than the CV is going to over the long haul. The CV and stock market is nothing more than a psychological panic. But this oil war is real and will hurt us more than is apparent currently.

Believe there are a few "Type As" on 2a. . .

Gold is dropping because (rich) people are selling to cover their stock losses.  Where are we, and why are we in this handbasket??
