Been to the Vons twice in last 24 hours people are in a haze! Went to business costco in Kearny Mesa and the line went from the registers all the way to the back of the store....we left...we've already stocked up weeks ago.\ From the author of Blade Runner: “There will come a time when it isn't 'They're spying on me through my phone' anymore. Eventually, it will be 'My phone is spying on me'.” Philip K. Dick |

I really wanted to see the ocean again before we get locked down, but the weather really wasn't worth it. I'm just out there getting the random things that you either run out of frequently or you didn't even think to get in the first place. I used to work in PB at a place called The River Clothing Outlet, office management and accounting. It's long gone now. I agree, people are just wandering around looking confused and wondering what they should buy, trying to figure out what to get of what's left. I think when you see those shelves emptying out so quickly you're kind of like okay, I got to do this now and make it matter. I'm from the generation of people that made casseroles and homemade food, but this generation is so used to pre-made food and fast-food and food delivery, I don't think they really know how to use basic Staples to make really tasty stuff. It's sad that more young people don't take cooking classes and they don't really offer it in junior high, like they did when I was a kid. Before proposition 13, we were taking classes in junior high like metal shop, wood shop, sewing, cooking, it was a lot of fun. I sewed my own fancy dress for graduation from Junior High. My sister wore it four years later. Can't even imagine anyone doing that nowadays. I guess people are in too much of a hurry to waste their time in the kitchen, because it really is time-consuming, but they'll have a lot of that on their hands soon. |

Then will I wander godlike and victorious through the ruins of the world And, giving my words an active force, I will feel equal to the Creator. “Looking for consciousness in the brain is like looking in the radio for the announcer.” – Nasseim Haramein, Director of Research for the Resonance Project |
