Just another day? Not really...
My wife left the house early today to stop and look for toilet paper...she finally found some after our 13th attempt.
I had to use McDonald's drive-thru to get lunch as the doors are locked.
I am sitting here at work with 90% empty offices during Tax Season.
But, not all is unusual! For the 75th day in a row I looked to see if 2019 Elite Extra Edition baseball autograph cards were fully priced. Nope.
I guess it IS just another day.

In Puerto Rico it started on Sunday at 6pm. Everything is close except for gas station, supermarkets and places to eat which are only pickups. Nobody is allow in the streets from 9pm-5am except for a few jobs. During the days you are encourage to stay at home and only one person in a car is allow. This is going to be like this until the 30.
I hope the inception case I have ordered arrive on Friday, that will keep me entertain.
Definitely, after hurricane a few years ago an earthquakes at the beginning of the year another thing that shows up.
This has give me time to spend with my 3 year old and relax for a couple of weeks. I should finally organize my baseball card room

RE: Just another day? Not really...
Have you ever watched a riot on TV? Most often one person starts doing something distructive or agressive, causing the person next to him/her to join in, and so on and so on.
Toilet paper: one person worries about lockdown or quarantine and running out so they grab a few bundles, which the next person in the aisle sees and figures they should do the same, and so on and so on.
Next thing we know, cereal, cheese, sandwich meat, bread and pizza all suffer the same fate. People do not act rational under stress and worry.

NEWSFLASH! I just read that olives and bananas are the cure for Coronavirus.
I wrote it down and just read it. LOL
Maybe that will cause a mob rush on two foods I hate most
Spread the word
I guess if I saved used tinfoil and used tea bags instead of old comic books and old baseball cards, the difference between a crazed hoarder and a savvy collector is in that inherent value.
