...and the dog is looking at me like, "See, this is why I chew the furniture!" My life really hasn't changed that much since Judy retired almost 3 years ago. I seldom get 3 miles from the house, usually going over to the FILs for something and she never goes anywhere but out on the boat. Other than that 99% of my "going" is to a little shopping center a mile and a half away with Ace, Publix and the pool store. I pass a Walmart on the way but I am not sticking my head in that mad house any time soon. Ace will pull what you need and set it on the curb for you, pay online. The pool store is the same way but those boys are soaked in chlorine all day. I doubt much would live in there anyway. My only real exposure is Publix and I am careful there, not touching much, not touching my face, hosing myself down with disinfectant as soon as I get back to the car. They have a person right inside the door wiping down carts with bleach. I bet those babies rust up before this is all over. ;-) |

Today I have to pick up a prescription at Walgreens and will use the poop bag trick. Although, they may bring it to the car. Wife and I are doing pretty much the same thing. Laying low and limiting any trips to the grocery store or pharmacy as much as possible. She takes several medications that I have to go to Walgreens occasionally to pick up and I use the drive-up window wearing plastic gloves. I am lucky. I have a couple of prescriptions through the VA but all I have to do is go on-line to the VA Healthnet, sign in, and click on "order pharmacy refills". The VA usually fills it within a day or two and mails it to the house. Kinda irritated with a couple of young people I know though. They hopped in their car two days ago and are heading to Colorado to go hiking. This is against all the CDC and state advisories that strongly recommend limiting travel. Oh well. I could do the same with Tricare Express Scripts, but I haven't set this prescription up yet. Once this refill is done I'll do that. Perhaps your young couple are going to sleep in a tent, cook on a campfire, and not associate with anyone. Maybe. -- Freedom Isn't Free! |

It just seems to me that right now is not a good time for people to be making their own rules as to travel.

I am dealing with that just by washing my hands after I handle the packages and throw away the packaging. In the car I use my sanitizer liberally. Things like my ramp keys are getting a bath in denatured alcohol as soon as I get them. They can use a good scrubbing anyway. |

Perhaps your young couple are going to sleep in a tent, cook on a campfire, and not associate with anyone. Maybe. If they are actually spending their time in the woods it is probably OK but they will still see people along the way. I guess as long as everyone keeps their distance it should be OK. BTW I forgot to look. Do gas stations still have those poly gloves next to the diesel pump? I just hosed everything down when I was filling up my cans the other day. I have that 2% chlorhexadine in a spray bottle in my console. |

Things like my ramp keys are getting a bath in denatured alcohol as soon as I get them. They can use a good scrubbing anyway. I carry a dispenser of Purell with me everywhere I go, and use it liberally. If I go into a store or shop, I spritz the door handle before I touch it. I was able to score a four bottle pack of 1200 ml each of Purell about 10 days ago off the "commercial account" site on Amazon. One of our local grocery stores, Harris Teeter, has someone at a table right inside the store to wipe off the handles on your shopping cart and a dispenser of sanitizer as you leave the store. The chain is doing a better job than Giant in trying to keep its shelves stocked. |

Looked weird, but I was able to hold a pen and put my initials on the credit gizmo (wonder what those are called - sensors?). -- Freedom Isn't Free! |
