Plenty in the back of my truck last night, Its the first time that I have seen packs of TP with address labels on them:-) I was also informed that because of some of the items that we carry we are now included in the key workers category. Kevin |

Wisconsin officially shut down for a month, except for essential business. Unless revoked earlier. Meowing@Home. "Time is simply the mechanism that keeps everything from happening all at once." |

Oh, S++t ... ... ... If you really want our company, keep flushing wet wipes down the toilet, plumbers say! People without toilet paper are starting to use alternatives such as Kleenex, wet wipes and other paper products that may be biodegradable, but do not break down as well as toilet paper when immersed in water. |

Gasoline prices are getting better. $1.69 USD for no ethanol. |

Right now gasoline prices or TP is the farthest from My mind. Last night the gas furnace went out with a noise I'd never heard before, a grinding noise,there has been no heat since then except for this PC. So tonight I'm hooking up the portable electric heater for night time, it's 69F @ the thermostat and 70F at the PC, outside is 42F, winter isn't over, daytime can be 20-30F warmer than at night. I've been coughing on and off all night since I have asthma. Maybe the park whom I already owe $20 to the park furnace guy can do something. I still need gasoline to pickup a prescription to work on an infection in My left shin, if a recycling center is open and I'm not sure they are considered essential or not under the current circumstances, I could turn in 3 bags of 2L bottles.

I understand your worry about your home and health. I was living in my car for three months starting in the middle of October the year before last. |

I still can't get any TP, maybe Tuesday morning at 8am I can get what I need for April. I did find this, but it's for a Doll House... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Not seeing so many parcels of TP , but there seems to be an increase in shelving units and such oddities as Inflatable Jacuzzi's. Volumes in next day deliveries are increasing, too many people with nothing better to do than shopping online:-) |

The local stores unload the TP from the truck and soon after some people come in and buy up all the TP, the stores need to impose some limits... 2-TP packages instead of 5-6 a day, every day... Savoir-Faire is everywhere! The T1 Trust, T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, America's First HST |

Since supermarkets here have imposed social distancing and a one in one out policy we have started to see more food on the shelves. (Rather than the selfish (car) drivers raiding the shelves and screwing over everybody else.) My father tells me it feels like it did when he was young. Rationing from WW2 didn't stop in the UK until around 1954. I doubt the present right wing government would have imagined bringing in socialist rules but I doubt we would disagree. A good tip for smokers is should you run out of TP there is always Rizala's. Get em whilst you can. (Just avoid the menthol flavoured.) |

All my work is inter-depot for a parcels delivery company, most but not all will be direct to home deliveries. |
