I just watched the Steve Martin banjo clip, very cool. One of the funniest guys ever and there's always U Tube where you can find just about anything to watch. My favs would be Andy Griffith with Barney of course, MASH, The Three Stooges (I know it's a guy thing), cartoons with Bugs Bunny, Popeye, Foghorn Leghorn, and most any musical performance you would like.

Gotta get out early tomorrow on a quest for TP and lots more wine . Oh and Emma, our wonderful GWP, needs food too. Our daughter who lives close by always helps when she can. I was at her house on Sunday to pick up a couple tubs of clothes "Patty's Summer" things (half her garage is our storage unit for now) and she surprised me with large container of "Clorox Wipes". Felt like a just one the lotto. I put them in one of the tubs so if a I stopped a red light no one could see them and maybe mug me for them.

Stay safe all you good people and check on you loved ones and friends more than you ever did. A phone call is a wonderful thing right now.

And huge props to Ted Turner (TCM) allowing us to watch great, or not so great, "old movies" "Some Like It Hot" is on tonight . . . funny, funny movie. Seen it many times before but may take it in again.

Since my normal routine does not involve interaction with many humans

These restrictions have not affected me very much
So I guess I’m one of the lucky ones

Groceries are delivered free from the market
So no need to be in public with shoppers

My time is spent visiting with my Horse at the barn

Handicapping horse racing contests, Mine Wednesday + Saturday + CTTP

Since I live in the foothills with footpaths leading to the lake
right across the street from my home

It’s a wonderful opportunity to enjoy nature ~ sunshine ~ blue sky
and my Pomeranian, QrFuffl

Evenings are spent being cozy with my DVR + My CAT AshAvAri

Plus Email + Phone with the few friends I enjoy

I am lucky to be one of those who is not really affected
But my heart Hurts for all the many who are

"Gotta get out early tomorrow on a quest for TP"

You would think that these survivalists, end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it, hoarder types or whatever they call themselves would eventually max out and leave a few rolls for the rest of us. I have enough for now, but of course will have to hunt some down too. I usually buy Cottonelle brand. These are big thick rolls that last a very long time.

Not for us. Store brand but the bigger rolls. Cost's much less. Gotta make up somewhere for "more wine!!!".

NEWS FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Find what's in stock at local stores near you.

Two University of Texas students created a website to show the most likely store in your areas to carry what you are looking for.

Go to Instok.org. No"c".
Type in you zip code and,
Then in the prompt window what you are looking for.

And start looking and scrolling.

I'm using their info for TP early tomorrow. I'll let you know if it worked. Those crafty Texas Longhorns. I'm assuming it works outside of Texas, I hope.
