If lucky, "contactless" grocery delivery is available for many who now don't want the risk of going into a grocery store during these difficult times: https://www.supermarketnews.com/online-retail/coronavirus-fears-grow-delivery-operators-offer-contactless-options

Just a week ago, I would have never considered using something like this. Now, it's a blessing.

With store hours being shortened & with people in panic buying mode, grocery stores here are now more crowded than ever. That makes "social distancing" extremely difficult. Many stores have set aside one hour for only those who are 60 or older. However, it seems as if a lot of these older people are using that special time in the store as time to socialize with each other. Friendly hugs and large groups congregating together, to discuss grandkids & life in general, seems to be far more common than trying to keep apart. It's quite odd & counter productive.

Food for Thought

Perhaps it really is time for more people (of all ages) to take the advice of "Shelter in Place" and "Social Distancing" seriously: both for their own welfare and for the welfare of our World. We are!!! My husband is also over 60. But even if he weren't, we'd still be doing what we currently are doing for ourselves, our country and our fellow humans: https://www.highoctaneharley.com/social-distancing/

PS No toilet paper in this grocery delivery. Toilet paper just isn't available anywhere!!! I wonder how long it will be before those, who didn't hoard, finally run out. Hope we all don't have to find out. Times are stressful enough.
