march madnes

March madness on the Ides, today the 15. Went shopping as usual, calmly without a long list or anxiety, until I beheld the Wal-Mart parting lot full and the Aldi parking lot full.We have never seen these two things simultaneously before.  Naivete dropped me into disbelief that it could be because of the Covid-19 panic. Wrong oh might one. All items limited to 2 except for canned goods at 4. Shelves deleted in some places. I made a purchase of 4 pizzas for a woman holding a skating party for which she thanked me kindly. We were able to buy only 2 bottled waters which disappointed Tom. But he did buy his Herring, throwing caution to the wind. Then I was rewarded with 2 quarters left in the cart boxes. What a time. Join the madness the store clerk said to us. Really! The time of the insane has come. March madness has not been cancelled. With us, conservative shopping reigned. Today, however, is the 1st time (and for the future) that we did not give our cat his favorite plastic bag to nibble so that he can vomit it up later. Au revoir, to your plastic obsession,  Bela
