Not ready to hunker down yet

Yesterday I posed a question to my readership and yet I did not know what my own answer would be. I suppose that only means that I am NOT ready to hunker down yet.

I still need to buy cat food though they have enough for about a month and in a pinch, I could feed them white rice. Need to go by the hardware store and pick up some A/C filters as with or without Coronavirus the heat will soon be upon us.

Headed into town around 8:00 a.m. and even turned in to HEB's parking lot only to see it was almost full. They must have run out of grocery carts as I saw people carrying packs of water. The interesting thing was that they were only carrying ONE multi-pack which means there were restrictions in place always a good thing to keep hoarders at bay!  I hate crowds and I hate waiting in long lines so headed to the post office instead to pick up the mail.

The post office is near HEB #1 otherwise known as "Little HEB" so drove by to see if it was as packed as Big HEB. To my delight, it wasn't and there were plenty of parking spaces. I do not know how long this is all going to last and when I finally decide to hunker down I will not be able to come buy my serranos or garlic. On this occasion, there were no serranos or garlic to be had! So picked up one of my favorite hot sauce Tabasco the big bottle.

Headed to the Dairy aisle and was surprised they were almost out of eggs so I decided to purchase a dozen even though they were not on my list.

I also grabbed two packages of cooked ham. When I passed the beer aisle I had no intention of purchasing any so I went to check on the water situation. I was only interested in taking a picture when I heard the clerk telling a customer that as far as the HEB brand of water was concerned it was all they had left. So I asked the guy if he would place two on my cart (that was the limit) since there is no way I can lift a 32 bottle multi-pack.

I went down other aisles for a picture op for the blog.  I had no idea they sold baby water...but they were out.

There were a few rolls of paper towels left...

However, if people went looking for toilet paper there wasn't a single roll to be had...

Returned to see if they had taken all the HEB brand water and they sure had...

The water is next to a small section of wine so out of the blue decided to purchase some. I then passed the beer aisle and decided why not buy some as well :)

I recalled I needed milk...with all the spirits I bought almost forgot...jajaja :D

This is my shopping cart at checkout came to a total of $62.82 for 11 items...money well spent.  I usually tear open large packages of bottle water or 30-packs of beer in the parking lot as I can not lift them and then place them one by one in my ice chest or free cardboard boxes I get from the store. Today I lucked out and a manager that was rounding up grocery carts asked me if I needed assistance...thank you, Sir!

Today we had a low of 70 and a high of 78 degrees.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
