I just bought a box of 30 rolls of Amazon Domino 2 ply toilet paper. $19.95 per box and I bought two. I can't tell if buying toilet paper on Amazon represents a new personal low or a smart leveraging of technology. I remember earlier this year when even Amazon was backordered for months for any kind of toilet paper.

Convenient, but is it decent bog roll?

The local stores and Costco locations are cleaned out of toilet paper, paper towels, disinfecting wipes and sanitizer.

I was at the stupidmarket on Saturday. No shortages of toilet paper or paper towels, but the facial tissue shelves were just about bare. Still no Clorox Wipes, but they did have a few pouches of some brand wipes I have never heard of that claim the same 98% effective that Clorox does, so I grabbed a couple.

I will most definitely report back.

Serious business in the Kung Flu era.

A little tinfoily, but I can't help but think part of this is related to the left's hatred of Thanksgiving. They dislike Christmas, so we'll see what the rules are then.

Damn it, I stopped in the store this morning on the way back from taking Seren to day care and I forgot to get toilet paper. I have an OK amount, but if we're hit with another run like we were at the beginning of this mess I won't be.

Don't forget to stock up on corn cobs, my friends. Be careful, however. They are not septic system compliant.

Just talked with Castle Key. I'm intending on spending Thanksgiving with him, his wife, and his family as I have done for a number of years now. Only, this year I told him that, if he had any concerns for his elderly Mother, I had no problem with not coming. Seren and I will stay home and I'll cook a ham or something.

Also told him that if anyone at my office gets the 'Rona I will not be down.

Covid means we need more gun control or something

That's so stupid I can't really think of a response to it.

My local grocery store is fully stocked on paper products.

My local grocery store has never gotten their shelf stock quite up to what it was a year ago, but they had plenty this morning. I don't have a huge amount, but I can go a while without issue.

Local Costco
Zero TP
Zero PT
Zero bathroom cleaner
Zero liquid hand soap

I think I'm going to hit the store this evening after I get home and get another pack of TP, more frozen blueberries (they were pretty much gone for the better part of 3 months in the spring) and a few other things...

Soaps and cleaning products I'm pretty well stocked on, although I could use another spray bottle of either Fantastic or 409. The both do a good job of cutting cooking grease off the stove.

North Central Ohio Sam's Club, 0900.

Business as usual. Slightly reduced inventory of paper products but otherwise normal.

Not sure if the bigger town south of me has gotten anything back in stock but I need to run by the doc tomorrow in a small town east of me. My pharmacy is inside the small grocery store so I will see what they have. I need paper towels and plates for my cabin living.

Looks like Ohio beat Newsom to the punch: Curfew in effect for the next three weeks 2200-0500.

Not sure I get the point of a curfew (from the medical perspective - I get it from the commie pinko perspective). Wouldn't you want a "curfew" to run during business hours if you were trying to limit contact? If it's about bars and similar, just come out and say your closing them. Otherwise, most people are at home and in bed anyway.
