When it really happens: SHTF...

[Surpmil]

Out for a few groceries this afternoon, more people are noticeably skittish, and more masks in evidence, gaping airways around the sides of the noses notwithstanding, the placebo effect should be beneficial if one puckers up like a Guppy against the fabric over the mouth.

The six foot social distancing in the lineup seems good until one remembers that each successively steps into the airspace occupied by the preceding person moments before, and proceeds to further recycle the same air. A line that alternates spacing six feet right and left apparently is beyond our conceptual skills.

Flour was completely sold out at one supermarket, but across the road 22lb/10Kg bags were plentiful for $15. (yes, only bought one) Apparently the herd assumed that since one store was empty the other must be and it was too far to go to check?

As I said to the girl at the till, there must be a lot of folks buying flour who have never baked anything before but their skins.

Bought a 1Kg tub of bite em in sea too, but mustn't talk too much about that as wouldn't want to frighten anyone.

I was thinking of a bumper sticker with a couple of sheep pushing a shopping cart full and the caption, "FLOUR: IT'S THE NEW TOILET PAPER!"

So what they need is something made with flour that causes frequent bowel movements!

Well, that's all from me.

Agreed...

I think they have their favorite store and don't go further.
