Status: We’re “sheltering in place” as directed by the County. We have more than two weeks of food and supplies with us. *Even a few rolls of toilet paper.
Plans: Celebrate the Lord’s day with our family group and listen to our pastures message for today.
Narrative: I’ve been struggling all morning trying to figure out a balance of work and home since I am now working for a company as a “Consultant”. I ran across a picture yesterday that showed an Elle Fanning listening to what Francis Ford Coppola was telling her. I can’t imagine her asking him to show her what he wanted (She wasn’t qualified for her job.), or asking him twice because she allowed herself to be distracted and missed something he said.

The other notable thing in the Super 8 movie was a young boy that “in the moment” had to focus on saving the girl he loved from a large alien by standing up to it in the face of certain death. We all have had moments when there wasn’t enough time or resources to maintain several options like in a chess game. At some point a choice (Good or Bad) has to be made on just ONE PATH and be willing to accept the consequences as a man. When I was sliding towards a freight train on black ice in my car was one of those times when a single path had to be chosen. (There was no time and a certain risk of death was upon me.)
The above scene caused me to choke up and almost cry just posting it in my blog this morning. We all have been given a gift of life on Earth and as I get older I realize just how precious that gift really is.
Having workers that can watch videos, listen to news while at work and have nothing to show for an entire week’s (40 Hrs.) pay really bothers me. They will never get that time back to repay their employer or their coworkers.
My wife and I searched the Internet for toilet paper today. (We’re down to four rolls so if it has to be delivered that time has to be taken into account.) I found those huge rolls that businesses use for 27 dollars for a package of eight.
As soon as I clicked on it the rolls disappeared. Someone bought all eight cases, each with eight 1,000ft rolls at one time. Probably to resell them as individual rolls to make a profit. There are so many unemployed looking for an extra dollar, they are gobbling up all this scarce merchandise only to resell it at a higher price.) The problem of course it takes it away from those who need it the most in the regular stores.
I also started looking at Mountain House https://www.mountainhouse.com/m/category/buckets-and-kits.html who makes survival boxes of food. They are completely sold out!
Tomorrow: Monday, back to work and get groceries.
