March 16, 2020 - 185 - "Too Much of a Good Thing?"

     I was texting with my dad today...because a visit is probably not a good idea. Not sure when I might have 14 days of non-exposure in the near future.  So we might have to learn to FaceTime together.

    Anyway, I asked if they had all the supplies they need.  He said they were fine without even doing anything different "When you shop at Sams you look to be hoarding", but he insists they're really not.


    I believe.  It's not because of Covid 19 that we have 19 rolls of toilet paper.  It's because we also shop at big box stores.  Costco is our store of choice, but it's the same thing.  

    Nowadays if we get down to half a package of something from Costco I put it on the list to get next time.  (Mainly because we don't go that often and I don't want to forget.)  Pre-big-box store, the amount in half a package of most things would have looked like a lifetime supply.

    I guess this semi-hoarding of frequently used items is paying off in this challenging time.
