Is that in the Hand Sanitizer Division?  ducks and runs! Several of the local distilleries are making hand sanitizer right now for the Hospital and Emergency folks for free, they are also selling it to the public which helps fund the donations. My local Dollar Tree, where everything really is a dollar, had over a thousand bottles of Aloe Vera Gel last week and the liquor store is selling EverClear for under $10 per mason jar if anyone wanted to make their own. The Aloe Vera Gel was in 8 ounce bottles. |

Here is some perspective on the stock markets. I agree with Warren Buffett that you buy value and hold for the long term. The previous run up started on June, 3 2019. Most of the money we lost since February, was gained since last June. Our current position since then is as follows:
Date*********DOW*****S&P*****NASDAQ June 3, 2019**24812****2744*****7333 Today********23719****2789*****8153 Change****down 4.4%***up 1.6***up 11%
Calm down about the losses. For most of us, it was money that we only "lost" because we didn't sell in February!  |

This used X-box arrived yesterday. It powers on when you plug it in but it will not power off. I hold down the power button and nothing so I unplug it.🤣 One of the controllers is well used and basically needs replaced. My g/f paid $50 for it so what can I say?

If anyone is looking for a really good non-fiction book to read, here is one that I enjoyed about 25 years ago and have just finished a re-read. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K3WCEX6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_o04?ie=UTF8&psc=1Two Years Before the Mast, by Richard Henry Dana, is about a Harvard student who was having trouble with his eyesight. He decided to ship as a common sailor aboard a hide ship around Cape Horn to California in 1834 to regain his health. The book that he wrote made him famous in his own time and he actually returned to California after the gold rush (and subsequent statehood) in 1859. In this edition there is an addendum that chronicles his return as well as another by his son written in 1911. As a California boy who sailed some of those very waters more than a hundred years later, in ports that would now be unrecognizable to him, I found it fascinating. It has to rank among the top five best books I have ever read. |

From an anonymous UPS delivery driver...
5 types of customers since the “rona”:
1) Steve:
He has been waiting for this moment his whole life. He has been drinking boilermakers since 10:00 am in his recliner and his AR is within arms reach. He has 6 months provisions in the basement and a bug out bag due west buried in the woods. Steve demands a handshake as I give him his package. He’s sizing me up as I deliver his ammo.
Steve will survive this, and he will kill you if he needs to.
2) Brad:
He is standing at his window wearing skinny jeans and a Patagonia t-shirt. He is mad because there were no organic tomatoes at Whole Foods today. He points at the ground where he has taped a 6 ft no go zone line from his porch. I leave his case of Fuji water, organic granola bites, and his new “Bernie Bro” hat at the tape.
Brad will not survive.
Steve will probably eat him.
3) Nancy:
She has sprayed everything with Thieves oil. Bought all the Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, meat, and bread from the local grocery chain. She has quarantined her kids and sprays them with a mixture of thieves, lavender, & mint essential oils daily. She has posted every link known to man about “The Rona” on her social media. She will spray you if you break the 6 ft rule. I will leave her yet another case of toilet paper.
She will last longer than Brad, but not Steve.
4) Karen:
She has called everybody and read them the latest news on “The Rona”. She asked for the manager at Food Lion, Walmart, Publix, McDonalds, Chi-Fil-A, and Vons all before noon demanding more toilet paper. Karen’s kids are currently faking “The Rona” to avoid her. I’m delivering “Hello kitchen” to her.
Karen will not survive longer than Brad.
5) Mary:
Is sitting in the swing watching her kids have a water balloon fight in the front yard as she is on her fourth glass of wine. She went to the store and bought 2 cases of pop tarts, 6 boxes of cereal, 8 bags of pizza rolls, And a 6 roll pack of toilet paper. There is a playlist of Bob Marley, Pink Floyd, and Post Malone playing in the background. I’m bringing her second shipment of 15 bottles of wine in 3 days.
Mary will survive and marry Steve.
Together they will repopulate the earth.
May God have mercy on us all.

We used to go to Baja a lot and she'd tell me to let her do the talking because I knew enough of the language to get arrested but not enough to get back out  |
