[ExI] quote of the day

[William Flynn Wallace]

Naw, you are not going to eat the cream of celery, are you?  I am certainly
not going to eat a bagful of dried shiitake mushrooms or garbanzo beans.

I am going out tomorrow for phys therapy for my back and will stop at
Walmart and buy a mouse (logitech trackball if you are interested).  The
reason I will keep going to the stores is Breyer's vanilla ice cream.  I
cannot find enough to hoard a bunch of cartons so I must go back.  Life is
not worth living without it and Nutty Bars mixed in with it.  Nutella is
great too - tried to make it myself before I read the label - you cannot
make it from milk chocolate and roasted hazelnuts - added flavors (can
cover a lot of things, eh?)

My understanding is that the mask is for not infecting other people, not
protecting oneself, unless someone coughs in my face, which if it happens
will insure that he does not die of the virus.  And yeah, my yard man
thought that there was a curfew.  Nope, not even in NYC.

Three cheers for Amazon!  Still delivering on time - Prime member.
