Adventures in grocery shopping

Bananas are next to impossible to get through Amazon Fresh. I’ve just stopped eating them then. Grocery delivery is just too damned nice plus it really cuts down on impulse shopping.

Ye Gods. Must every. single. discussion. have to devolve into a mask debate? Wednesday our local sports page featured a story about our most low-income high school beginning a fledgling baseball team of mostly freshmen who have never played ball in their lives. The school hasn't fielded a team in years for various reasons, economics and kids having to work to help their families for one. It was a lovely story, full of hope, will, and determination.

The only comments on the online story were about the accompanying photo; it showed kids in a gym in masks. "Free our kids! Schools are abusive! blah blah blah..." Crap, I doubt they even read the story.

Have you ever played sports wearing a mask? I am thinking in particular of sports that involve running and other exertion, not things like golf.

No, but number one, I'm not a 14-yr old, and number two, I didn't say anything about them running or anything. I think you miss my point.

At one BOH meeting parents asked officials, "Have you ever tried to play basketball in a mask? You wouldn't last three minutes."

In the recent Olympics, the Canadian women's team--all masked up--beat Russia 6-1. The Russian team wore masks for the first three quarters, until their COVID tests came back negative.

I personally believe many such commenters, who revel in one topic no matter the basis, have incredibly limited lives, both emotionally and intellectually. I wish there was an ignore function across the internet.

Yeah, those pesky people who keep harping about Ukraine. What's up with that? Freedom isn't important is it? So what if their lives are micromanaged by unelected people from outside their community? Maybe they should just surrender. Freedom is overrated - right?

My Amazon Fresh seems flush with both regular and organic bananas. Here, it's Freschetta pizzas that are elusive.

Yeah shortages are just so local!

Ram into a weird random shortage this weekend. So’s mom and sister are visiting so we went up to sonoma for a couple of nights and stayed at one of the midrange hotel properties that SO can get his employee discount at. The little bottles of shampoo and lotion and stuff were all different brands. I asked SO and apparently the manufacturers can’t get the little bottles with any reliability so all the hotels are just buying whatever is available when they need more.
