Dear Diary -

Today, the WHO announced that the virus has mutated.  Symptoms now include hysterical laughter, skin and hair discolouration, and a distorted sense of fashion.  $100 000 bounty issued for The Joker.  Keeping an eye out.

I won the "$7,000 a week for life" game. Bastards.

Day 69: S.H.I.E.L.D. agents have my house staked out. Evidently there are rumors that I have a partial roll of toilet paper left. I can't believe they're going flunky for the White House.

Left a few minutes early this morning and stopped at the grocery store. Picked up some bananas and a couple packages of tuna and broth for soup. Went to check the TP situation...the store had been open about 45 minutes. There was no TP but there was a stock of some weird off-brand paper towels.

Went to the adjoining gas station and the guy in the kiosk there pointed to the grocery store and said, "Don't go there, it's nuts." I told him I had just left and it seemed okay. He said there were people lined up well ahead of the 6:00 am opening (in the rain) who were going in couples and/or family groups and each were buying the limit of three of the TP. Some were dashing out to their cars and then back in to buy the limit again.

People really suck.

TP....weird...it's as if people think that covid is dysentery?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It is weird...and I sort of hope that all the people who now have a garage full of TP catch something that will make them have to use it all with the quickness.   Dodgy

Perhaps they’re preparing for an eventual black market. Or at least a brown one...

It goes back to the 50's with the idea of a well stocked nuclear bomb shelter.


Don't expect it to make sense.
