Decided to drive to the local Walmart this morning, just got back. Pulled up 10 minutes before they opened, 7 people in line (small town) everyone stayed 20 feet apart outside, I masked up and at the door
went to my grocery store yesterday, 25 people in line to get in. took about 20 min to get in.

governor has metering at essential businesses here (20% of fire code capacity at a time maximum). no grocery store employee was regularly watching things so i saw 12 people leave before the next one entered when some employee finally got around to doing their job. I think i could have gotten inside under 10 mins if things ran smoothly.

thinking of emailing the governor and telling her while people can wait for their plants or lumber or bolts (home improvement store crowds got her to institute metering), she should lax grocery store rules, the most essential of essential businesses. Allow 25-30% capacity and noone might have to wait to get in, or mandate a store employee has to constantly get people in the moment someone leaves the store so you aren't waiting 7 mins to move the line along when customers leave the store.


I'd hate to think people are walking away from food because they have to wait a long time to even go to a grocery store, and pickup/delivery is a hard alternative as many items are not available to be ordered online so you are forced to go to the store to try to buy those.

I don't think it will come to that :). It's a heavy wet snow that is sticking in the yard, but not in the street.

I just keep looking outside, at all my pretty bulbs that were just about to bloom......now covered in snow :(
I didn't know it even still snowed this late. I wonder why people don't believe in global warming?

I did two runs in 16 hours.... 4.12 miles last night and 2 miles this morning - I had to drop the car off to get an oil change and I ran home. Then strength training to failure so now my arms are jello.

I am going to play animal crossing while it rains, be good everyone!

What's a record store?
a place that specializes in selling vinyl records and cd's. there still are a few here so i imagine there have to be also where you live.

amazed streaming or downloading licensed albums/songs hasn't killed these off yet.
