Paula and I went grocery shopping. I toyed with the idea of ordering groceries online for delivery. Nope, not going to do it. It’s the one time we can legally go out and do something.

Alberston’s didn’t seem quite as crazy as last week. Reasonable lines at checkout. Some of the shelves are still empty. Especially, the canned food aisles and the paper goods aisle. It’ll probably be a while before they are back to normal.

Still plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. Deli is running normal. We stopped and chatted with Alan in the meat department. He still had a smile on his face. Meat had reasonable selections.

Traffic seems to be returning to sub-normal. Traffic on Western was moderate. I went out on Sunday for an appointment for a PET scan at Kaiser at 5:30 pm. Roads were pretty much empty.

Some activities are coming back to normal. The grounds crew was outside raking and trimming the shrubs. Only thing not operating is restaurants.

One can see what cereals are must have for the ongoing saga. Seems like Honey Nut Cheerios are a hot seller.

Every time we go to the store there is some new rule. This time bringing your own bags was verboten. Turns out we could use our own bags as long as the clerk didn’t have to touch them.

In other news, our church is starting online services. We have Senior Bible study on Zoom tomorrow. Zoom has hit the big time. We will probably drop in on a Zoom service with our church back in Mass. Here is an article on Zoom in the NY Times.

We will try to get over to Long Beach to drop off some stuff for Paula’s Mom. Her facility is on “lockdown” so no visit, just drop the stuff and go. She probably doesn’t have a clue about what’s going on. We might try a face-time visit but I have my doubts that she will understand.

I can’t stand watching Donald Trump on the news. That SOB will kill us all. Is it November yet?

That’s all for now. Stay safe.

Joe
