My bank is closing all of their lobbies starting today utilizing drive-thru only. Primary runoff has been postponed until summer. I've never seen anything like what we're experiencing. #surreal #FlattenTheCurve Edited March 19, 2020 by keystone3ply addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimF-LowBari Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Went to Sr citizen hour at supermarket first hour they opened. Think next time I’ll go hour before they close. Dang lot of old people in my area (oh wait). Another supermarket 2 miles away and it’s crowded for time of day also (but Sr hour there already passed).

Did the same thing. Not only crowded,but,for the most part,the people were extremely impolite. I only needed to get dish detergent. They had it,but the lines were so bad,I decided to come back later. Hopefully that still have some. Maybe I should have hid a bottle behind the fish food. :-) 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ton of people not social distancing at the meat counter. Saw that and thought why freaking bother to take precautions. place doesn’t use numbers when waiting so everyone has to figure out who is next (stupid). So fear of losing place is bigger than fear of getting sick 🤯 Edited March 19, 2020 by JimF-LowBari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw that and thought why freaking bother to take precautions. place doesn’t use numbers when waiting so everyone has to figure out who is next (stupid). So fear of losing place is bigger than fear of getting sick 🤯 I went to my local grocery store on Monday to see "if" their bakery had fresh bread. To my surprise the shelves were full so I took advantage of it. As I'm standing at the counter waiting for them to slice/package it, a little old lady walks up right next to me. My first thought was "social distancing" so I stepped three feet away. She then moved right next to me again. I stepped another three feet away and she very quickly stood next to me again. Thank goodness I then got my bread and walked away. I started to chuckle to myself because if anyone was watching it would look like something out of Mr. Bean. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drum Corps isn’t even on the radar when I’m living the real life version of “Contagion”. Hang in there, friend. This too shall end. In other news, my doorknobs, cabinet handles, light switches, and all devices have never been more disinfected. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Lancer Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 From my church: During this time of physical separation, there is an even greater need to stay connected. From Rabbi Yosef Kanefsky: "Every hand that we don't shake must become a phone call that we place." "Every embrace that we avoid must become a verbal expression of warmth and concern." "Every inch and every foot that we physically place between ourselves and another, must become a thought as to how we might be of help to that other, should the need arise." 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevergreen Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 It is the first day of Spring. I just watched SCV's "Force of Nature". I could not help but get a bit teared up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pain to clean up later but, so beautiful now. Spring has sprung and the surrounding desert is alive just amazingly wondrous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
