Wegmans seems to have figured out how to keep a supply on the shelves
now... and/or maybe all (or most) of the hoarders have filled their
houses to where there's no more room for any more....

We have to use the masks now, too... but only actually in the stores or
such where it's effectively "dress code".... At least the state didn't
direct the stores specifically how to handle keeping the social

figure out their own strategies....

Oooooh... that is a good deal.... certainly can't pass that one up... ;)

A friend in MEMORIES that also posts online from the webside here at
