PLAGUE REPORT UPDATE FROM STOCKTO

by Bob Walsh

I had to go out today (Monday) to run a few errands. It went pretty well. I went by Trader Joe's and walked right in, no line. Got what I needed walked right up to a checkout, and walked out. No lines, no problems. They are doing traffic control if necessary and they are disinfecting shopping carts as they go but it is pretty low profile.

I also went by a gun store I do some business with to buy some powder and check out maybe a new safe. I need more secure storage and I have a footprint issue.

Since it was sort-of in between I stopped at the local Dodge dealer for a few minutes and used their WiFi to download a couple of e-books. The local Barnes & Noble store has a WiFi signal that runs like a three-legged cow. Then stopped to see a friend, drop off some music and get some free ginger bread. Fair trade as far as I am concerned.

I understand that getting into some of the big box stores is still an ordeal, especially on weekends, but I avoid them when possible. Most, but not all, people who are up and about are wearing masks.
