MAR 13 2020
this virus will... in my  opionion---- cause a terriffic increase in the septic pumping business--.... and let me tell you why... ( i think) actually i woiuld bet good money on it....

i went to costco..
trip one-- because costco has "prime" beef---along with "choice" beef-- and if you  hav a few extra dollars  prime beef is  r  e  a  l  l  y nice.. 
trip  two --for megan... who's mother was not hoarding-but just needed--- toilet paper- and there was none-- but people were buying a huge supply of dinner napkins and paper towels..
 trip three - janine just off the plane from chicago needed to  "lay in" food just in case her son actually got on a plane from australia ( the phone call wait time was 3 hours to get airline  tickets.)
now by trip numbere three  ther were no dinner napkins  OR papertowels---- cases of water had repLaced that entire wall of paper goodS

now... being a fARMER TYPE- I REMEMBER A GREAT TRANSITION FROM TEH SEQRS ROEBUCK CATALOGE WHICH HUNG ON A NAIL IN THE HOUSE  OUTBACK.... TO THE ROLL OF TIDY TISSUE  (WHICH OF LATE IS 3/4 AN INCH MOR4E NARROW THAT IT USED TO BE.A..-- ... ANOTHER PROBLEM FOR LATERE.)

THE PROBLEM THAT NEEDS AIR-ING  HERE AND NOW......IS THE TENSILE TISSUE TEST..  YOU HAVE SEEN SO MANYU ON TV COMMERCIALS-- THEIR NAPKINS DON'T TEAR AND THE TOWELS BLOT WITHOUT QUESTION--I  KNOW  AND HAVE DEMO'D THE TENDILE TISSUES BY RUNNING ONE OR TWO  PAPER TOWELS THRU THE LAUNDRY... THEY SURVIVE...  LIKE PLASTIC BAGS IN TH E OCEAN.... THEY SURVIVE

WHAT IS GOING TO....SHALL WE SAY....    GET STICKY,.... IS  ALL THOS PEOPLE WHO FIGURED PAPER ANYTHING IS PAPER ANYTHING ARE GOING TO GET STIUCK-- OR RQATHER THEIR SEPTIC PIPES WILL GET STUCK  BECAUSE WHERE TP IS ENGINEERED TO DISINTEGRATE  INWATR,  THOSE NAPKINS AND TOWELS WILL NOT-- AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE-- WHICH IN TOWNS LIKE  IPSWICH ,, WHERE EVERYONG HAS A SEPTIC SYSTEM-- MANY OF THOSE TOWELS WILL PLUG UP THE WORKS.
THEREBY IMPROVING THE INCOMKE OF ALL THE SEPTIOC PUMPING  WORKFORCE.
----
AS FOR INBTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY.... JANINE AND I  HEARD A RUMOR FLOATED THAT WALMART HAD A SEMI INDIVIDUAL DELIVERY SYSTEM AND IF AQNYONE HAD TOILET  PAPER, IT WOULD BE THEM....  THIS IS WHY I MISSED MJAIL CALL LAST NIGHT... WE COULD NOT RESIST THE TEMPTATIONTO TEST THAT THEORY  - AND I SAT OUTSIDE WHILE SHE WENT IN TO SEARCH THE SHELVES... I KNEW WHAT THE ANSWER WAS BECASUE NO ONE WAS COMING OUT THE DOOR LADEN WITH TOILET PAPER. OUR CONCLUSION WAS,.. IF WALMART HAS THEIR OWN  DELIVERY TRUCKS- THEN THEY TOO WERE OVERWHELMED..

PERSONALLY I FOUND HARWARE STORES-- WHERE YU WOUL D NOT EXPECT TO FIND :PAPERGOODS"  HAD A FULL SUPPLY AS OPPOSED TO THE SUPERMARKETS WHO WERE DEAQD OUT/.
----

BEING IN THE AGED GROU0P, I DON'T WISH TO MINIMISE THIS VIRUS... BUT....... I DO HAVE A COULOPE OTHER "TQAKES" ON TEH C19 VIRUS.... TV TELLS ME.....WE MUST TEST.. WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TSTS TO TEST -- THAT IS A BUNCH OF PROBLEMS IN ITSELF... BUT... ( GEORGE WILL ARGUE ME ON THIS)... YOU HAAVE AN I;LNESS WITH NO KNOWN CURE EXCEPT TO RIDE IT OUT WITH SOMETIMES SUBSTANCIAL SUPPORT--  WE AS A NATION/WORLD ARE BEYOND TRYING TO TRACK THE CLUSTERS.... YUP... IT SPREADS... SO WHAT IS THE EXACT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN  SUPPORT FOR A PERSON WITH  SYPMTOMS OF AN UNKNOWN  ( BUT PROBABLE)  CAUSE    TO  GIVING SUPPORT TO A PERSON  WITH  A NAMED, BUT UNTREATAVBLE CAUSE.  SOLVING SOMEONE'S INTELLECTUAL CURIOSITY CAN BE VERY CONFUSING- AND I WOUOLD THINK IN TH LONG RUN  AN UNPRODUCTIVE EXERCISE. treatment is going to be the same.-- problm there is we don't have the medical facilities... i.e. i.c.u.    beds... to cope whith what is coming...
 
now we  SDP... have to consider doctors and nurses "first responders"    when  in fact the entire country could be conxsidered first responders.... remember we would be in dire straights if the guy who picks up our trash  takes a mopnth off...-----  well.... hands up for all those who would notice if congress took a month off?????

THQANKFUOLY WE TOOK IN A LOAD OF PURINQA UESTERDAY  ---BLESS THEM-- EVERYONE PASS THE WORD AROUND HOW WONDERFUL OUR DOGS ARE  ON PURINA PRO PLAN...

TODQAY WE WILL HAVE TO SEEK OUT THE GRAIN STORES BEFORE THAT BECOMES A PROBLEM.  WE COULD MANAGE  ONLY ON HAY WITH THE DONKEYS-- BUT JANINE HAS SOME SKINNEY HORSES THAT REALLY NEED SOME GRAIN... IN THE PROCESS OUR DONKS DO LOVE A BIT OF SWEET FEED... ( YOU REMEMBER MY FRIEND WHO RAISED HER KIDS EATING A CUP OS SWEET FFEED ON THE SCHOOL BUS EVERY MORN.  IT IS THE SQAME STUFF... SO A BIG SUPPLY MIGHT BE A GOOD THING TO HAVE.
