Hunkering Down

Our lives haven't changed that much with this lockdown.  ( Our governor calls it her "Stay Home, Stay Safe" order. )  We seldom left home before except to shop for groceries and other supplies.  Almost every trip we made to town would qualify as essential, and still does.  The only other thing was to occasionally visit our daughter in Charlevoix or our grand daughter, who recently moved from nearby Levering to Petoskey.

My wife went to Walmart today and there was no line or anybody stationed at the door counting people.  More people were wearing masks than last week, but certainly not the majority.  They were out of some things on her list, but that's been happening since long before this virus thing got started. She picked up another package of four little tiny rolls of generic toilet paper, the last one on the shelves.  Our TP supply is lasting longer than expected, but I still want to get some more before it gets dangerously low.  We also need some meat and other stuff, so I will probably make a run to town tomorrow, even though it's the last nice weather day in the seven day forecast.  I'm not complaining, you understand, it could be worse.  We could be living in Maine or Upstate New York where they are getting 12-18 inches of snow as we speak.
