I have been going to my dentist now for about 11 years. His hygienist
turns out to have grown up right near where I did in Indiana, she and
her husband went to Purdue, she is a lot of fun and has lots of fun
friends (and kinda weird, we had some mutual friends from sorta
completely different directions). We have become good friends, and she
with my daughter as they are about the same age. My daughter is here
with me now for some indeterminate time, and the friend was going stir
crazy as the office pretty much closed last week, so she came out
yesterday, we met by the dentist office to bike to the beach. He was in
there working on some emergency cases and had a break so he came out and
visited with us all a minute. He's a great guy, lives in a development
kinda across/up the road a bit from me. I was just thinking earlier
that if I needed any work it would be easy enough to get with him. The
benefits of a sorta "small" community, and good friends.

Went to the local “Fresh Market” (upscale hipster grocery store) as they’ve had
milk pretty consistently and plenty of meat. Used the geezer hours because I
can. Got some free range/grass fed/no drugs chicken breasts as the wife wanted
some and three gallons of skim. A handful of people in the place.
Had my morning cold beverage and realized one of my teeth seemed unusually
sensitive to the cold beverage. Ran the tongue over the affected tooth and
found it to be very, very rough. Dang. Either an old filling fell out or a
tooth cracked. Called my dentist buddy, he’s getting me in this afternoon. He
said I’ll have to run the gauntlet of questions, thermometers, “Where were you
on the night of..??” etc., etc.

I went to geezer hour at the grocery on Monday morning 6A-7A. It was mobbed
with geezers driving their carts like they drive their cars in the parking lot.
Some of those people were rather vicious and of course they tend to wander and
leave their carts crosswise of the aisles and are oblivious to anyone else
around. Then after going through all the checkout they stand there and oops
realize, oh I actually gotta pay for this, then root around for a wallet and
debit card or whatever and that takes another 5min. I got a few things and
decided not to deal with that madness again.
Popped in yesterday afternoon, there was hardly anyone there. Only good steaks,
not much other beef. Some chicken etc. Plenty of eggyweggs. Other staples in
short supply but I am fairly well-stocked in that regard.
Get off my damn lawn!!!

After last week's trip to the co-op I realized that we needed to institute a
limit on the number of times we allowed ourselves to go to the store. Its easy
to drive yourself crazy.
So today, after a week, we headed out to our local grocery store.We got there
at about ten after 8, I knew we wanted this to be an early day thing. I'd say
it was amazingly busy for how early on a Thursday we were there but this might
be the new normal. We were among the youngest folks in the store, unsurprising
considering it was just after senior hours.
There was plenty of food, maybe not exactly what we wanted but plenty overall.
I was a little surprised to find limited selection of pasta sauce, rice, flour
and eggs. Particularly on the egg front there were only bottled eggs, no
in-shell at all, there was a sign indicating they wouldn't have any until
tomorrow.Other than a couple boxes of tissues there were no paper products at
all, big section of shelves completely empty.
Chicken was in limited supply but there was some. There was plenty beef and,
interestingly tons of ham. We bought a little chicken but we've got loads of
moose, venison, and pork.
People were wary but polite, I didn't see any unpleasantness at all.
Most importantly I got a bottle of tonic water. We're hosting a "virtual happy
hour" Friday night and I need to be prepared. :)
