Went to Target. It was apocalyptical.

We got there at 7:45 and waited for it to open. They restocked all the paper goods, By 8:30 they were out!!! There was no bread and pasta. I was bummed. Lo and behold the delivery for those items was made while we were there. Success.

People were in relatively good cheer. That saved the experience from feeling like the Great Tribulation I learned about in Sunday school.

We have enough food and cleaning supplies to last a long while.

1. My experience this morning in the Bay Area

Local grocery stores were not TOO bad, but the Trader Joe's that I was just at a few minutes ago had to shut the doors to limit entry, probably because of fire codes.

That being said, it was very busy but not horrifically awful. I was about to place an online order for food, but decide to chance it. Folks generally were pleasant, and the store staff was GREAT.

2. I'm in Woodland Hills. Everybody was nice.

I'm trying to find the sweet spot between panic and prudence.

3. At one local grocery store last night, the line wrapped through the entire store. I left.

Thankfully didn’t need anything badly enough to wait two plus hours in line.

4. Our local Publix ran out of fresh meat almost instantly

We loaded up on Thursday. My gut told me things were are going to close up in Orlando on Friday (and it did)

But we’ll need TP and meats and bread within a week or so

Not sure what we’ll be facing then.

5. honestly the crowding in stores is dangerous

it’s the opposite of social distancing

6. I couldn't get rice at an Asian grocery store

I stopped in this place in Kentucky that has an entire aisle devoted to rice in 15 to 100 bags. Nothing. The shelves were wiped out and I got there shortly after they opened this morning.

I should note that this store is near the main gate for Fort Campbell. It makes me think the soldiers may know something we don't know.

7. The idea that anybody knows anything

is actually pretty amusing.

It's a shitshow precisely because nobody knows what the fuck is going on.

8. We have enough rice and pasta to feed a platoon!

9. I shop at Walmart in the wee hours to avoid the crowds. Last night at 1 AM it was crowded.
