Day 1582

We got up at 7.  I wanted to go to the "seniors only" Costco opening.  Ellen didn't want to go, so I went by myself.

When I got there the parking lot was as crowded as it would be on a busy Monday,.  It was 10 minutes to opening and the line stretched clear around the building.  I didn't even park.  The Whole Foods had a line, too. 

I drove over to Randall's to see what was there.  There was no line, that was good.  It didn't have any inventory either, that was bad.  There was now butter or eggs and only a few gallon milk containers.  The frozen food areas were really picked over.  Of course there was no drug, paper, or soap products.  The only bread was some wheat bread.  They did have lots of bakery products and a fairly full deli.  I bought a few things, mainly deli.

On the way home I stopped by HEB to see what it was like.  The parking lot was a little less full than it's been.  I walked to the front and saw the line.  It started on Escarpment, reached clear across the building, and then curved back to an entrance.  I turned around and went home.

When I got home I had breakfast and then did a little surfing.  People are saying that the government is distributing gas and travel papers to "essential" people.  That included Walmart cashiers.  That really worries me.

I was tired of surfing, so I spent the day reading a book on the naval engagements associated with Guadalcanal.  It's really interesting. 

When I took the dog to the mailbox the belt I'd ordered was there.  At least that gives me a little chore to do tomorrow.

Dinner was leftover gumbo.  It was followed by more reading.

BTW, the temperature today was 90.  Summer is coming and I'm afraid we'll have to suffer through it.
