I don’t really know Sheryl’s music, but like that song. 👍 If I continue North now, on my bike tour, I’ll go through Santa Monica, and thought of that song a few times recently. 😎

I’m in San Clemente now, after bypassing Camp Pendleton, by riding up I-5. I did that yesterday, then got rained on good overnight. 🙄 So today’s an off day, to rest & goof off. 😁

Sheryl Crow is the shiznit. Long before the doping came to light, Lance dumped her while she had breast cancer. At that point I was like F%&^ Lance Armstrong. But really, she is so better off without him.

And while I’m goofing off, here’s a pic of a crazy flower bush I slept by last night. 🙂 I’m still not sure what woke me up, but when I did, a hummingbird and several bees were here, pollinatin’ & things. 😎 The hummingbird stopped right in front of me, as it was leaving. It hovered about 3 feet away, but changed positions like 5 or 6 times, like a pattern or something, then just went about it’s day. 😁

It is kind of sad. I've never been to a Black Friday opening but I guess the market was kind of like that this morning. My sister and I didn't really have to have anything but she is sick with the Fantavirus I picked at a college production a Grease two weeks ago. So I got up early to go and get her some soup and medicine. It was both sad and funny to see Americans race walking to get in the store and then get to certain items, like the now infamous YUGE bundles of TP. I found some soup I thought she would like, there wasn't much there even at 0715, and I put two cans in the cart.. then thought 4 might be better. I started to reach for 6 and stopped myself. Was taking 4 out what appeared to a 24 can case hoarding? Was taking 6? I ended up with 4 of one and 2 of another. The same happened with T. we're down to around 7 rolls between us and could probable last another week at least but I saw some and pick up and pack. I started to reach for another and stopped myself since we really didn't need 36 MEGA ROLLS which are equivalent to 144 regular rolls.

I think Ameica will have a tough time dealing because too many of us tend to arrogant, greedy and just plain mean.


On a lighter note

i have been riding my bike to the same store every couple of days just for something to do. I cant really horde too much with 2 panniers... what was heartening the last visit was that they had a tp display with a limit of 2 packages and folks were taking only one. I always thank the cashier for being there. I am sure they see some bad displays of the human condition.

Glad to see some here at least acknowledging that we are in crisis mode. Here in Silly cone valley things are completely shut down. I haven't been to the grocery store or any where else in a week and don't plan on going out anywhere but Safeway for months.

Anyone who thinks this will be over in a few weeks is delusional. In a few weeks people will be dying in the halls of makeshift hospitals in places like NYC.

Why our federal government isn't doing all it can RIGHT NOW is a disgrace.

My wife and I are 72 years old. she has health problems. I have her barricaded in her room for the duration because we know that if she gets sick she will probably need a ventilator and there won't be one .

A lifetime of paying for high quality health care isn't going to matter when all the hospitals are full and they are letting the old die to save the young.

I only pray that the Great State of California will step up where the feds aren't and find some factory that can start making the critical supplies we need NOW!

Oh, and here is a pic of the Botteccia I just finished.

Great looking Bottecchia!

It will be interesting to see how or even if manufacturing and warehousing change in the near future. Centralized manufacturing and shipping from there to all points while economical may be a thing of past or it might stay based on corporate greed. The same with inventories.

Sadly the infamous "cookie booths' are closed due to soial distancing, but the cookies are available. Ask around you neighborhood or ask on social media.

So are you saying there ARE cookie booths? Thank goodness. I need some Samoans, really bad. 😁

I found a grocery store in San Juan Capistrano, but had to backtrack about 1/4 mile, to eat lunch on the beach. Poor me. 🙄😉

The good thing about city living is that even while the huge chains have empty shelves and Armageddon rationing, I just go to one of several corner bodega's and they have the stuff. Gd knows how they do it, but they do it. local still works-

Nice beach. Yes the booths are over for this year but ask around on social media or contact your local council office.
