It looks like we are headed towards pandemic lockdown version 2.0 soon. Our governor asked everyone to stay home for a couple weeks but everyone is still out and about so if our covid numbers keep spiking there is talk that most businesses will be shut down again...yikes! We are pretty much stocked up on everything but we ran out to Walmart this morning to pick up a few things for our Thanksgiving dinner for two and we saw that the ammo (first shelf) was nearly all gone and the toilet paper aisle (second picture) only had a couple packages of toilet paper left. I think we will avoid Costco and Sam's Club because I heard both places have been packed with people for the last few days. In other news...here are a bunch of interesting links...
- We have a lot of mining activity in Nevada but I had never heard of mining for denim before!
- I just found out I am a taphophile! I love photographing cemeteries and helping people research old gravestones like on Find A Grave.
- This looks like an interesting app for free podcasts although I haven't had time to try it yet.
- I used to love looking through Sears and Montgomery Ward catalogs when I was a kid; here's some interesting facts about those old catalogs.
- Also, I hadn't heard much about Romney Travelers in ages but here is an interesting story about them.
- Finally, here is some interesting info about how the pandemic has impacted businesses.
It is shocking how empty those shelves are! I think the only thing I will need going forward is milk and bananas. I am planning to buy milk of the kind I have to drink (a2milk) and freezing it. Bananas--I have frozen, not many.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like these empty shelves are happening (again) all over the country! I hope you can get the things you need!
DeleteYou share the most interesting stuff! it's like getting an education when I read your blog...love the story about the history of Levi jeans...makes me want to leave the East Coast and come out that way and dig up some old jeans! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLOL if there weren't snakes in the mines out here I too would be "mining" for jeans!
DeleteBecause of your posts, I started stocking up again/ I've noticed a lot of frozen food shelves were empty last time I went. I wasn't sure if it was because the truck hadn't come or because there was a shortage. Either way, I stocked up on soup base, canned goods. TP, dog food etc. Stay safe!
ReplyDeleteGlad you got everything you need. Stay safe as well!
