I’ve never seen so much hand sanitizer in all my life!
Of course, the same can’t be said for toilet paper. Talk about a sign of the times!
Americans can be the silliest people, even in the worst of situations. It seems to me there are way more important things to be hoarding right now, other than paper products; like maybe home cooked meals, penicillin, gas masks, Ivory Soap and hazmat suits.
My fourteen year old grandson summed up the entertainment menu. “KK, we can’t go to the movies. There is no baseball, golf, basketball, hockey, spring football or Olympics on TV. If something doesn’t change soon, we’re going to be down to nothing but the Hallmark Channel.”
Congress is “negotiating” some help. That would be comical in normal times! What is there to negotiate when lives are at stake?
Bless Congresses’ collective hearts; it’s how they have been trained. If the Republicans want a bridge over the Delaware River, they’ve got to pony up an increase in Medicare to secure the Democratic vote.
If the Democrats want a much needed prison reform bill passed, they’ve got to add an additional wing to the Pentagon in the legislation to pacify the Republicans.
They don’t know any other way!
You’d think in such a national crisis they’d all raise their hand immediately for the “best” plan and get to it!
Don’t hold your breath for such a deal. They took the easy way out, again, by voting to throw tons and tons of money at the problem. It’s a familiar refrain...
And if this plan fails, or doesn’t turn things around immediately, we’re going to see some epic political finger pointing...from sea to shinning sea!
But here is the good news.
Life has been slowed for a moment. The hustle and bustle of living has hit the pause button. We can kick the dog, curse the moon and the stars, blame the Chinese...or we can avail ourselves in the quietness to do some deep, soul searching and heartfelt “reflecting”.
On things past, present and future.
