“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J. Robert Oppenheimer
You may or may not be aware that in addition to chatrooms on Gab, we now have a GAB GROUP…..
You will notice that T3, who is a big Gabber, is already posting a lot of things there which may be of interest.
I invite you to GO THERE RIGHT NOW, JOIN, AND MAKE A POST. Takes about a minute, if you’re already on Gab. If not, then join Gab (see instructions below).
Gab Groups are a bit like a GROUP TIMELINE – analogous to your FEED on Twitter or Gab, but the timeline is SHARED with other members of the group, so that it’s a bit like a Facebook group, only MORE PUBLIC.
Anybody here can join this group – AND – very important – if we are ever shut down here, THAT is where we will now meet.
MEET UP BY THE OLD MILL or whatever. Gab Groups.
It’s not the same as “Gab Blogs” – a mythical entity that might someday exist – but it’s very close. Neon Revolt has a HUGE group on Gab, and it allows an enormous amount of Q research to go on. Likewise, if we are ever NOT researching here, we can go there and continue without missing even a DAY.
To go to the group and JOIN, just click this link, and then JOIN!!!
WARNING – read this warning first If you type your REAL NAME into any field in social media (such as “Gab” or “WordPress) that says “Name”, you risk people seeing that name. In fact, if you use your REAL NAME in ANY WAY in connection to a social media account, you risk being “doxxed”. There …
That will get you going. This is from when we all got on Gab, as a protection against this site being closed down.
Once you are on Gab, then go to our Gab Group and join. VERY EASY.
Now – the issue of GAB CHAT.
Gab Chat is very beta (meaning BUGGY TO SIGN UP), but it is HIGHLY SECURE. That’s why we use it. It does NOT leak to the DNC and their CHICOM and UN GLOBONAZI allies, like Twitter DMs do. Personally, I don’t say anything on Gab Chat that couldn’t stand to leak, and I assume that the NSA sees everything I write anyway. HOWEVER, sometimes it lets us get ahead of the TRICKIEST TRICKS that the other side pulls, like trying to send RINGERS into the blog. If I talk about that on Twitter DMs, I might as well tell Hillary Clinton and the CIA. Nope. Not happening.
You MAY not be able to get onto Gab Chat, but here is an article talking about it. My advice is to not waste your time unless you want the challenge.
This is just to let you know that Gab Chat and Private Messaging are BACK and in BETA TEST – but the beta product is REALLY GOOD (although it does NOT work on Firefox yet – BECAUSE FIREFOX). REPEAT – GAB CHAT AND PRIVATE MESSAGING DOES NOT WORK ON FIREFOX YET! PLEASE USE ANOTHER BROWSER …
Comrades, the Twitter Directorate of Narrative Approval has found The Conservative Treehouse in violation of state interests for challenging acceptable thought around the coronavirus pandemic. Dissent cannot be tolerated:
We have been notified our continued participation in the national conversation is contingent upon our agreement that panic and fear is the only opinion in the interests of the state. Unless and until we accept the terms of state interest we must remain silent.
Fight on comrades; while we still have a nation worth fighting for. Do not allow yourselves to be overcome with dark imaginings. Keep a smile in your heart and a kindness toward your neighbor. We will forever support you… Remember, “rally to the standard”.
I am absolutely not going to tell Sundance what I think he should do, because HE is the best person to judge how to fight these scumbags. Whatever he chooses to do, I will support 1000%.
That said, I will remind him that he is profoundly influential on Twitter, and that if he runs the FIGHT NUMBERS, he may (or may not) judge that it’s worth “not standing firm on the figurative / literary definition of a hoax”.
Yeah, the WHOLE THING – the TOTALITY – is a hoax. One of the most MASSIVE, CYNICAL, and EVIL hoaxes ever pulled on this species.
BUT – and this is where they NAILED Sundance by Trump playing along with the hoax – it’s a real disease, scary as hell to old people, and it fucked me up. Not terribly, but bad enough that it will change my life. I feel WINDED many times every day now. Not super-badly, to where I need an oxygen tank, but I might be interested in getting one for sleeping, when this is over, and I can actually get in to see my doctor, not just on Skype.
I spent over 30 years of my life NOT SMOKING so that I would have the lungs I had at Christmas. I absolutely LOVED smoking – and I gave it up so that I’d have a healthy retirement. My frigging WIFE is desperate for me to outlive her – she doesn’t want to die alone – she’s in GREAT health – and now it looks like this is not gonna be easy to pull off.
THAT PART ain’t a hoax.
But what these fucking VACCINE OLIGARCHS and CHINESE CCP VIRUS SCUMBAGS and DNC HOAXERS and MEDIA CLOWNS have all done IS an ORCHESTRATED, STAGED, BULLSHIT virus release PLOT – or call it one more damn HOAX – to force THEIR form of government on us.
And they can GO TO HELL if they think I’m going along with that.
For the time being, given our national emergency, we are switching to DAILY COVID-19/China Virus threads instead of weekly threads. Your comments and updates are most welcome. PLEASE continue to post your valuable information, hard source links, and local observations within these Daily Threads. Additionally, we will try to include links to government and official pressers, so those who no longer have cable can remain informed.
We’ll get through this crisis, together. As a group, there is probably no one better prepared than we are.
For our newcomers: The Q Tree community has been diligent in covering the threat of Coronavirus, COVID19, Wuhan FLU. We started accumulating information about this virus in mid-late January, in what became almost weekly threads. We’ve been weeks, if not months, ahead of MSM outlets to vet rumors and other medical papers, etc.
In our past weekly threads, we assembled information on the following:
Primary update links. The dashboard from Johns Hopkins which counts “official” cases all over the world, the CDC, and WHO, and includes the links for our past threads.
Hard Data Medical Information- Explanation about testing, reliance on China for drugs, analysis of NE Journal of Medicine results and other published papers.
Vaccine and theraputics (new/old drugs to alleviate symptoms) news and updates
Trump Administration response (the timeline and links to various agencies)
China Responses, timelines, research, attempt to cover actions, or secrecy in results discovered.
An aggregate of info/responses from other countries, listed by country.
Economic impact from around the world. A change in economic activity will indicate a “return to normal”.
Speculation/debunking on how the virus started
Media Bias, political response, and debunking section, like the article from AP News, overt bias from Politico, inflammatory headlines, etc.
Other medical info to boost immune system, herbal remedies, ways to keep your house clean and NOT spread the virus to others. Excellent information to incorporate into daily lifestyle.
Hard links for OTHER valuable sources/blogs and a brief sentence or two about what they provide
Other news items
Our weekly updates. timelines, collection of valuable information, can be found here:
Welcome to Friday’s OPEN THREAD at the QTree! What a week! Wait until you guys hear what kinds of records you are all breaking at Q Tree. Thank you for the Thursday hand-off TrumpIsMine. Thank you to Wolfie for keeping us all organized, up and running. What would we do without FLEP’s News Roundup to keep up? Thank you, Flep. Hat tip and a hearty thank you to Wheatie, Dep, BakoCarl, Michael, Steve in Colorado, all our science contributors and the lurkers!
We don’t believe in political correctness at QTree. Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it. This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time. Important Guidelines are outlined here in the January 1st open thread, with an addendum on 20191110. In other words, please keep it SOMEWHAT civil. We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.
I’ve decided to officially break up with the Main Stream Media for the hundredth time. Most of us already have. The media has become the virus plaguing America. Here’s my break up song.
I got up this morning. While I was having my coffee, my woman came in and sat down by my side. With tears in her eyes, she said, “I have a confession to make.” I said woman, “Speak what’s on your mind. Daughn said, I found somebody new………. to take your place (It’s the Q TREE). And Wolfie said, don’t feel so all alone, …….. I found someone of my own (It’s the Q Tree).
QTree has turned into a little golden oasis. Did you know our average viewers/day have almost doubled since February? We know Wolfie has this place locked down until after the election, but suddenly, we have a whole lotta lurkers. We must be doing something right. Congratulations! You guys have been solid contributors on the COVID threads, and FLEP keeps us all upbeat. Congratulations to all. We’re weeks, sometimes months, ahead of the MSM….. and they’ve become embarrassing.
This Wednesday, in a Presidential Presser, a reporter asked the President of the United States, “How many deaths are acceptable?” What kind of an idiotic question is that? Don, Jr. had some thoughts on the subject.
Media being media. Are you F-ing kidding me? The task force is going nonstop to protect and save American lives and jobs and this is the kind of shit they come up with.
Their hatred of America & it’s people is getting even worse if that was even possible.pic.twitter.com/Fx9fiSKTSd
As Flep pointed out today in the Good News RoundUp, the President’s pressers are getting high ratings. It makes sense. We’re all concerned, anxious, and want more information from our leaders. Well, an average presser’s ratings equal a season finale of The Bachelor, and sometimes, the President’s presser’s equal Monday Night Football ratings. Consequently, the President’s approval ratings are rising because the President is speaking directly to Americans, without a media filter. The media can’t have it. They want to stop covering the President’s pressers. Can you imagine? It’s true. Here is CNN:
CNN: We’re not airing his pressers with Fauci & Birx anymore
This is from Associated Press, which feeds every newspaper in the country. The President was concerned about Americans being depressed, not working, no money, and the stress it would bring to average business owners and families. AP decided to “fact check” and argue this point…… shamefully.
The New York Times had to change headlines on articles two days this week, because the headlines criticized Dems too much and didn’t criticize Trump….. enough. What does that say about the NYTimes credibility as a “paper of record”. It’s disgusting. The Washington Post floated an article which claimed Doctors were considering DNR orders for the elderly. A brief check proved it wasn’t true. We can all imagine how such an article would scare the population.
Then, we have the problem of media……. in general. They’re like hyenas. It’s not productive. Lead, follow, or get out of the way. We don’t have time for this kind of childish behavior.
Good review of today’s media from someone who worked at most of these places.
Was I unwise to leave my eyes open for so long (to the truth)? Let’s face it facts, on the subject of Coronavirus, most of us wouldn’t have known what to think without help from other Q Treepers. Thankfully, you guys know how to dig for information, from all over the world. The expertise from our members helped ALL OF US. What a group….. great work. Thank you.
A typical pundit from MSNBC, https://twitter.com/chrislhayes, has a twitter thread which is dangerous. Everything is dire. Nurses and docs collapsing, hospitals on the brink, no equipment, people scared, and everything…….. is the fault of the Trump Administration. Yet, according to Dr. Birx in the presser Thursday, there are still ICU beds and ventilators available in NYC. That’s information important to the citizens of NYC. And according to Governor Cuomo’s presser today, every hospital in NYC has enough protective equipment. Contrary to the media articles. Why is the media lying to the people?
The answer is easy = Ratings, clicks, and more money………. by scaring people half to death with bad and incomplete information. No wonder the left is so jumpy, nervous, twitchy, and desperate. Time for the MSM to Go Their Own Way – Loving you, isn’t the right thing to do…… We’re done.
We’ll get through it all, together. We’re Americans, and Aussies, and Brits. It’s what we do. Remember to say a little prayer for the President, his team and family, the truck drivers, and every worker who stays late to stock the shelves. Throw up an extra prayer for the police, fire, and all the medical staff. They need all the help they can get. And PRAY for the Hydroxychloroquine + Zpack cocktail to work, and save our fellow Americans from the scourge from China.
Remember Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone
We’ll meet at Wheatie’s tree house in the morning. Sure, we can have muffins.
“There are a lot of therapeutic drugs being examined. This is one of many but it is not proven. If it works we will need to make sure the finite supplies are held for the patients who need it most. We have a study going on to figure this out. We also have a screening effort to look at all the ideas for Therapeutics because the number being proposed is very large and only the most promising should be tried in patients. China was testing some things but now they have so few cases that that testing needs to move to other locations,” Gates said.
Read the article.
It is very clear that THIS WORM BILL GATES is deep in this pandemic as a frigging IPO HOAX for his vaccine research.
Just read it.
President Donald Trump is fighting to find a medical solution for Coronavirus in the short term, expressing hope that the anti-malaria drug Chloroquine/hydroxychloroquine can help patients suffering from the Chinese virus.
The truth is that President Donald Trump is locked in an intense power struggle with Bill Gates, who is pushing his vaccines, which will not be available to the public until after November’s election. Gates has a lot of pull in the medical world, he has a multi-million dollar relationship with Dr. Fauci, and Fauci originally took the Gates line supporting vaccines and casting doubt on Chloroquine.
Nancy has indeed given us material for memes in the past 20yrs. If you’re feeling a little cooped up, please post your favorite Nancy memes here. We can send them all to her as a birthday card.
Q Treepers, by nature, are curious people. We have members with broad experience in various disciplines within our group, and yet, we’re old/wise enough to defer to others in their specialty. Good thing we’re all blessed with an inordinate amount of common sense. We’re also, normally, about 4-6 weeks ahead of the MSM……. Today, we’re looking out on the horizon and what do we see as a potential problem in the next month or so? You may see beautiful mountains and rivers, the scenery of West Virginia.
Yes, we’re fortunate at Q Tree to have those members who can help us with technical medical info. For me, I’m good at counting things, medicine is not my wheelhouse….. but I sure can count money and square footage. I’m approaching the plateau of the COVID-19 Learning Curve when it comes to a virus/therapeutics/vaccines/bats and bioweapons, but when a China virus solution which costs trillions of taxpayer dollars, the hair stands up on the back of my neck and my eyebrows start to twitch. I can’t help it. We’re gonna need more information.
For the time being, let us set-aside the 2+4 trillion for the Senate bill, and let’s focus on the virus itself. The USA and world economies will not get back to normal until we have SOME kind of treatment. We need to alleviate the fear, remove a few of the unknown variables. Hydroxychloroquine + ZPack seems to be the easiest treatment for COVID-19. The drug cocktail is receiving a LOT of attention, both good and bad, depending on your politics. We know Bayer donated 3 million doses, Teva donated 6 million, and Novartis donated 130 million, but the USA will need more, and the world would need billions of doses. Okay, where are the meds coming from and who is paying for them? We need to know who we are paying, right? We certainly don’t want to send USD to China!
On my Q Tree horizon, I see 1,000,000 sq.ft. factory under roof, 23 acres, in Morgantown, WV. It’s been the home of Mylan Pharmaceuticals since 1965. Yet, we detect a strange smell, the stench of a dead fish….. or a big fat rat, maybe it’s a swamp rat. We need more information. Let’s dig deeper. Shall we?
Mylan Pharma/Labs is enormous and linked to WVU, a large university medical system in Morgantown, WV.
Mylan is/was #396 on the Fortune 500 and largely makes generics. TODAY, Mylan Labs announced, reported by FOX BUSINESS, they released the proprietary licensing on the generic for Hydroxychloroquine so any pharma can gear up and make the drugs during a National Emergency. Do you suppose the USA is expecting a Malaria outbreak? Gee whiz, wonder if it has something to do with that treatment for CCP Virus the President has been talking about….. you know the one……. where the media assumes Trump is crazy/dangerous/may kill people? Why would Mylan make such an announcement?
Crisis = Opportunity = Money
Of course, Mylan Pharma announced March 19, 2020: (That’s a week ago. Did you see MSNBC reporters interviewing any execs at Mylan?)
….. restarted production of its hydroxychloroquine sulfate tablets at its West Virginia manufacturing facility as a potential treatment for COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus. The company plans to have product available by mid-April and thinks it can ramp up to 50 million tablets, which could treat more than 1.5 million people. (Imagine our surprise, but this is good news, right?)
Chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, a less toxic metabolite of chloroquine, are antiviral medications that are approved to treat malaria. Because it’s less toxic and has anti-inflammatory properties, hydroxychloroquine is also approved to treat a pair of auto-immune disorders, lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
An article published in the journal Cell Research in February showed that chloroquine inhibited the 2019-nCoV coronavirus as well as Gilead Sciences‘ (NASDAQ:GILD) remdesivir in an experiment testing how well the virus infects cells grown in a laboratory. Gilead is running a late-stage clinical trial of remdesivir as a COVID-19 treatment, but since it hasn’t been approved for any diseases, remdesivir isn’t as widely available as chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine. (Hmmmm, so…… Mylan Labs knows enough about the “Trump treatment” to go into full production, asap? But the media tells us it’s a dumb idea, right?)
Mylan Labs may sound familiar to Q Treepers…….. maybe?
Gosh……….she’s cute. Wait a minute……. She looks familiar…… Oh yes, that’s Heather Bresch, the CEO of Mylan Labs, the daughter of West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin. Heather went to a local high school and WVU for a degree in Poli Sci and International Relations. She started as a clerk, typing labels at Mylan and rose to CEO…. her daddy helped her get a job in 1992. Strange, in an entire Google page of hundreds of images, I can’t seem to find a picture of the two of them together. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Bresch
Heather lied about having an MBA, falsifying her resume. Mini-scandal in 2007 – WVU gave her the degree although she only finished 28/46 hrs required. But in 2008, professors on the panel who voted to grant Heather an MBA, had to retire under vote of no-confidence, and WVU rescinded her degree. Heather never lost her job. In the world of big pharma, sometimes it’s better to understand politics – rather than science and medicine. And Heather is reallllllllly good when it comes to understanding politics. From her Wikipedia page:
Bresch persuaded several of Mylan’s competitors to support what became the Generic Drug User Fee Act, which she proposed to lawmakers in 2010.[19] Under the law the generics industry would pay the FDA fees of $300 million to get their drugs approved, and in return the FDA would inspect foreign drug manufacturing facilities at the same rate as U.S-based facilities (Single-handedly responsible for filling the coffers of the FDA)
Bresch was appointed president of Mylan in 2009[21]
Bresch’s appointment as chief executive officer (CEO) was announced in 2011, and she officially took the position in January 2012.[21]
One of 18 female CEOs of a Fortune 500 company, and first female of a pharma.
The Obama Administration loved her: After seeing how few female candidates were available for positions that require a background in science and math, she became more interested in promoting math and science education among young girls.[29]
Bresch continued advocating for more regulation of the pharmaceutical industry by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).[19]
She was named one of Fortune magazine’s “50 Most Powerful Women In Business” in 2014.
How does one become President of a major pharma in 2009, when they lied on their resume in 2007, and caused a scandal at WVU? Gosh, I couldn’t do that, but my daddy is not Joe Manchin. Does it sound a little suspicious to you?
And then, Mylan Pharma left the USA and no longer pays taxes here. They left for the Netherlands.
Also in 2014, Bresch and Mylan announced a $5.3 billion acquisition of Abbott Laboratories[31] as part of a corporate tax inversion plan to re-organize the company in the Netherlands and move its domicile to a country with lower taxes.[32] Bresch said it was a difficult choice to make, but it had to be done to maintain competitiveness against pharmaceutical manufacturers that had already executed similar inversion strategies.[30] The company completed the complex tax inversion in February 2015.[33] The inversion—which formally resulted in the creation of a new company, Mylan N.V., with 78% of its shares held by former Mylan Inc. shareholders and 22% of its shared held by Abbott Labs shareholders—was expected to immediately drop Mylan’s U.S. corporate tax rate to 21% (from 24%) in the first year “and into the high teens over the next three to five years.”[33]The New York Times said there was something “disconcerting” about a company that benefits from large government contracts renouncing their citizenship for tax benefits.[30]
With a Maximum Corp Tax rate of 21% after Trump’s Tax cuts, one would think Heather would bring back Mylan to the USA, right? Has she? ………… not yet. Heather had other problems. In 2016, Mylan was sued by 40 states Attys General for price fixing. It was an alleged conspiracy with Teva of Israel, which was seeking to acquire Mylan. https://www.bizjournals.com/pittsburgh/blog/the-pulse/2015/06/teva-mylans-morgantown-plant-stays-after.html
The price-fixing controversy was settled just in time for the EPIPEN disaster to come to the forefront. Heather didn’t resign under this PR disaster either.
Mylan acquired the 50yr old right to Epipen in years prior, but the product only had sales of $200 million. Heather came up with an idea. Read what Heather did to boost her stock price.
the company also successfully lobbied the FDA to broaden the label to include risk of anaphylaxis and in parallel, successfully lobbied Congress to generate legislation making EpiPens available in schools and in public places like defibrillators are, and hired the same people that Medtronic had worked with on defibrillator legislation to do so.[35][36] From 2007 to 2016, Mylan also increased the price of EpiPens by 461 percent, from around $100 for a package of two pens to around $600.[37] By the first half of 2015, Mylan had an 85% market share of such devices in the U.S.,[35] and in that year sales reached around $1.5B and accounted for 40% of Mylan’s profit.[38]
Wait, let’s read that part again.…………. You mean….. We didn’t need defibrillators in schools and community centers until Medtronic lobbyists created the legislation to mandate it? Yep, that’s right.
And Heather Bresch followed the same model as Medtronic, hired the same lobbyists, and made Epi-Pens MANDATORY, then they increased the price of the Epipens from $100/two pack to $600/two-pack. Yep, that’s right. And Mylan pays taxes on the profits in Netherlands……. not the USA.
That’s what happened. Throughout the whole Epi-Pen controversy, parents screaming about the increase in price of Epi-Pens because they had to buy them to send their kids back to school, Heather never lost her job. She did agree to make a “generic” which was only $300/two-pack….. which is still much higher than original price before Mylan acquired the rights to sell the product. The controversy flooded the news:
Heather has done very well for herself. She’s been able to lobby the FDA to work on behalf of Mylan. She schmoozed both the Bush and Obama Administrations. She shipped an American company to the Netherlands (but she felt badly about it…..) so the USA no longer receives tax dollars……. the taxpayer just pays for the meds. And Heather? She kept her job despite lying on a resume and ripping off American parents. She’s profited handsomely. Proxy filings show that from 2007 to 2015, Bresch’s compensation rose from $2,453,456 to $18,931,068, a 671% increase in pay.[34][37]
As CEO, Heather makes a lot more than Daddy does as a Senator. I’m guessing Christmas dinner is held at Heather’s house. Whaddaya think? In the swamp of Dems taking care of their kids, Heather got a much better deal than Hunter Biden. Joe Manchin’s influence as Governor and a US Senator helped his daughter handsomely……….. or was it Heather’s husband?
Jeffrey J Bresch is an attorney with Jones Day.
Wut? It’s true. Heather is one connected lady.
And now, Heather is going to make Hydroxychloroquine again……… for a global pandemic. Mylan used to make about 70% of the global supply. The USA used to give it away to Africa to prevent Malaria. Did you know Mylan’s stock price was down 27% last year, during one of the biggest bull markets in history? https://www.fool.com/investing/2020/01/25/is-mylan-stock-a-buy.aspx Guess Mylan needs to boost revenue?

This Night before Daughn Thursday 20200326 Open Thread is Open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG! You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
However, we have a new policy. Starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE. This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.
They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM. Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT! “I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
I ventured out Wednesday morning to the grocery store after being hunkered down for the last 2 weeks. Seniors only from 7:00 am to 8:00 am. Dear wife made the last sojourn looking for a few things we needed without much success about a week and a half ago. She’s not much of a early riser and I am so, I got there at 6:55 and a bunch of old guys and gals were forming by the doors waiting for them to open. Got in and no antiseptic wipes to wipe down the cart but I figured as much and had a plastic baggie with Clorox wipes in my pocket so after wiping the thing down I hurried in there.
What I thought would be a slow moving crowd was SO wrong (for the most part) as the old codgers were hurrying about trying to get the same things I was after. Bread,fruit,produce and meat, especially chicken. I was making good time and the shelves were not too bad but, no toilet paper, hand wipes or antiseptic wipes of any kind. Expected.
Got out of there at 7:55 without incident. Unloaded it all and jumped in the shower, scrubbed down and put on clean duds.
Ah, provisioned for a couple weeks now and we’re hunkering back down with all we need!
Well maybe this picture isn’t Accurate!.
Today it is supposed to be sunny and near 70 degrees and it’s time to cut the grass!
it’s Spring and obviously life will go on so remember….
