We were in Costco last week several times, I bought eye glasses and the wife bought me a piano and things were "fine", the usual.  Today was really insane.  I think they were out of TP, something which has everyone confused.  I think it's panic buying.

It might as well be coffee or napkins or tampons.  Toilet paper is made in the US, nearly all of it.  Some of the pulp used comes from Brazil or Canada.

I am so confused.

I need to go later today. Hopefully it's not insane.

Luckily, we have clear leadership nationally.  We listen to the CDC people and then hear the president tell us precisely the opposite of what they told us.  Fun stuff.  This is why you don't let a 7 year-old drive....because you don't control when a serious curveball presents itself.

The only issue I saw with Costco was the long long check out lines.  People were being very courteous otherwise.  We even got gas, which was $2.28/gal for premium.

We just didn't want to wait to check out that long.

I called Hilton to cancel the hotel and the lady said they had been slammed all day.  She was very nice about it.

I mean, there's a lot of reasons you don't let a 7 year old drive.

My 10 year old is a pretty awesome driver though, I'll tell you that much.

On the toilet paper, I can SORT of understand the idea that people are planning on isolating themselves for multiple weeks at a time, and if they're attempting to avoid all human contact or at least a lot of it, then the necessities must be purchased in bulk at the beginning of this.  But even with my wife and 12yo daughter using toilet paper at a crazy rate, we still only use maybe 4-6 rolls per week.  So a 24-pack should get us through a month of quarantine.

But some folks are carting off pallets of the stuff.  Are they trying to create a shortage and then corner the market or something?  So strange.

I'm going to the grocery store in an hour, after I drop the daughter at Olive Garden

I was out of town for nearly a week, so just normal shopping

I'm worried I won't have basketball to watch in the evenings - lucky for daylight savings and spring weather, I can spend a few hours in the yard after work

As soon as the president stops encouraging people with Corono virus to go to work.

I'm at work and didn't need a government official to encourage me
