Our subway and bus system remains open.  The buses now are free, and very sparsely ridden.  I have not been near the subway.  I hear the system is running out of money for obvious reasons, look for bailouts to come for all sorts of municipal and state needs.  "We" have "discovered" free money at the Federal level (again) in unmoderated volumes.  It's going to be epic.

Not many here live without a car and it's easy to drive if you need, and to park.

The local butcher is your friend. Mine raises his own animals, so.. good.
We have 1/4 of beef being prepared now and due for pickup later this week. I also was able to pick up 20 lbs of bacon about a month ago for about $2 a lb from a friend that works at a local pork packing plant (My wife told him to give us $20 work of bacon; He thought she meant 20 lbs.)  I also have 10 racks of ribs coming for about $5 a rack right from the packing plant. Hopefully, I can get another 10 in a week or so. Should be sitting pretty good for summer now.

Doc said that as soon is he is able, he will get me and Mrs. 847 set up with the antibody test. Probably a month out, he said.

Need to go to NY City

I understand they will start antibody tests this week
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

I know of a doc in Chicago that's already doing them.  It's one of the first cities to have them.  How far out are you?

About 35 minutes by train. 


And yeah, I heard about NYC doing them now. I've never been in a big hurry to go to NYC, and I'm certainly not now.

still no toilet paper at the grocery store

they were sold out of the coffee that was on special, so I went to another branch across town - no toilet paper

80/20 ground beef was on sale for $2/pound - I grabbed 4 pounds

The only things we can't get at the store now are bleach wipes and bread flour. I guess everyone has taken up making bread, or, there will be a lot of stale bread flour in the garbage, down the road.

I hate people.

They are handy these days, to wipe things down in the car when you are out and about.

We keep small bottles of sanitizer in the car. Always have though, because I visit a lot of construction sites and water to wash up is not always available.

Apparently you can get flour here pretty regularly now... But not yeast.
