Arizonans are the worst hoarders of toilet paper - Source: KYMA news

There are times when I'm not too proud of the state in which I've lived since 1987. Julia and I tried again yesterday at Walmart to get some, we found NOT ONLY no toilet paper, BUT ALSO no eggs, of any kind, and NO RICE! (Apparently yogurt isn't in demand, we could get that. And most oddly, they still have cavier....) It's quite bizarre. The clerk told us we'd have to get there at 6am when they open to get these items.

In some of my forums they were discussing ordering food online. So I went to Amazon to have a look. What I found made my mouth drop!


Screen capture of March 16, 2020, arborio rice for $34.95!


Scan of real price, rice bought March 13, 2020, it is $5.98...

We do have a decent supply of TP, rice, and a carton of eggs, so we are not deprived.

Meanwhile, we're laying low, doing the "sheltering in place", "social distancing", hand washing and trying to not touch our faces. The last one, not quite so successfully.

Prayers you all stay well (or get well)!
