Sit-rep in your area?

The first couple of weeks were rough, especially if you had a particular brand you preferred. But I think it’s pretty much back to normal.

I do recall having to switch from Sunbeam to Bunny for a week.

That's kind of odd to me. Since this started, I've not had a problem getting a loaf of bread. Might be dependent on the area, I guess.

Sometimes there is some, and sometimes there's not, but around here, there is always a limit of 1.

A couple weeks ago I went to my local grocery and there were probably 25-30 loaves of oat bread and rye bread on the shelves. There was a grown-ass man nearly weeping because there was 'no bread'.

Some people are very particular. My wife is one of them. Me? I have my favorites and I don’t eat as much bread as I used to, but I can eat about any of it.

I get it. I don't react well to whole grain breads, rye is good but it doesn't go with everything. (First world problems, I know.)

The east side Sam's Club has been closed for a few years now.

West side. East of me.

Guess how well my brain is working today?

Valparaiso is full of traffic today. First time in weeks. Not sure why...maybe because of the heavy snow predicted up here tonight.

Amazon had the good Presto TP in stock today, at least for a little while. Snagged a couple of packages and signed up for Subscribe and Save. I think they fulfill the subscriptions before they make it available to everyone else.

Wonder if Holcomb will extend our lock down until May 15th like Cuomo did in NY?

My bet is he’ll follow whatever the surrounding states do.

 

[bwframe]

I didn't care for Holcomb joining the surrounding states. We need to lead, not follow.

HOLLINGSWORTH STANDS BY DESIRE TO REOPEN ECONOMY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER

...In a follow-up interview with Rob Kendall on WIBC, Hollingsworth said again clarified that no matter what decision lawmakers end up making it’s should not be a decision that leans one way or another in regards to choosing between fully keeping Americans safe from the coronavirus and reopening the economy.

“We owe Americans a better plan on how we move forward and minimize the cost to them of them not being to provide for their families,” he said.

Hollingsworth said there is no “zero solution” to coronavirus.

“What we have to recognize is there are both economic costs to Americans and a biological cost to America,” said Hollingsworth. “We need a plan to move forward with certain parts of the economy, with certain industries, geographies, age groups. Something that science says we can move forward with the economics and minimize the risk of this disease.”

Hollingsworth reiterated that he is a supporter of social distancing efforts, but he added that stay at home orders, such as the one Gov. Eric Holcomb has put in place throughout Indiana, is not a realistic plan...

Wife said she heard on news that Wisconsin is extending into May (She didnt catch exact date) and Virginia to June 10th.

My guess is Holcomb will extend another 2 weeks to start with

New freezer came, and it's a beautiful thing! Now to fill it up.

Very nice. Are the uprights as efficient as the small chest freezers of the same volume? I've been kinda wanting one for a while but am leaning towards a small chest freezer. Plan on putting it in the basement and I would like to elevate it a foot or two in case of flooding.

Nice! Mine is supposed to ship on Monday. Fingers crossed. Ordered it from Menards about 3 weeks ago.

I can tell you that a chest freezer during a power outage will hold the cold better especially if you are getting in and out of it. Not everyone has the room for them though. I was down to 2 for awhile but I may need more since my daughter's dating again.

Not sure. We've always only had uprights.

A chest will be more efficient, and will have less air circulation (less freezer burn). They're probably lighter, too. They're cheaper as well, and AFAIK last longer.


It's just a pain in the butt to get that ham out that's in the very bottom of the chest.


If you're elevating the chest, then you may want a stepstool.
