12. Went to Costco today to get my corned beef for St. Patrick's day next week.

Was shocked how many people had large packages of toilet paper and mega packages of disinfectant wipes. The cashier was shocked I was only buying the corned beef and kimchi and not stocking up. The couple front of me asked when they were going to get more rice. She said they bring a new pallet in and it’s gone within an hour.


This is frightening and laughable at the same time. I always have a case of water for my earthquake preparations and enough food to last 2 months. I had cleaned out my cupboards of expired canned foods which I was going to throwaway but now I might keep it,
