I finally came up with the right name an hour after we hung up, Kobbers. It was Dee Wallace.

I didn't bother most of the celebs I was interested in seeing, actually. I did take a moment to gush at Carel Struycken.
If I met Carel Struycken, I'd have to restrain myself from saying, slowly and deliberately, "It is happening again." ( A Twin Peaks reference.) In fact, technically, I should say it twice.

I wanted to bother Dee Wallace, but there was a small crowd around her at the time we were walking through, so I didn't.

I'm sitting in my office (all the library computers are shut down, owing to Covid-19) and I just watched a Monitor Room employee enter the building with a whole rotisserie chicken. I wonder what that's about?

I heard today that because of panic hoarding and the arguments ppl start with cashiers when they try to get around the "1 to a customer" rule, some genius marketers are pricing hoard-tastic items at the usual price for one -- say €1.50 for one bottle of hand sanitizer -- but for two you pay €7.50. Whoever thought of that should win the Nobel Peace Prize For Slick Thinking.
The TP situation here is so bad that I just mailed almost half my supply to my brother. My mom isn't in any shape mentally to ration the stuff and he is not about to follow her in there to monitor the situation.

We've resigned ourselves to bidet-ing our bums until TP supplies are restocked by local retailers.
More involved, but apparently cleaner, anyway.

I've had a bidet for years. I'm going to survive the shortage.

I don't think I'd want one of those unless the water was heated. Do they make them like that?

That does sound nice! I was afraid it was going to be a squat-style toilet, and my knees don't bend that way anymore.

My mom's a few days shy of hitting two years after her last chemo for colon cancer. And since she had to have a partial colectomy before beginning chemo the TP shortage is particularly problematic.
I told her I could always hose her off, Planet of the Apes-style, but for some reason she didn't seem all that into it.

Even though she would get to scream in your face as you work that "IT'S A MADHOUSE! A MADHOUSE!!!" ? That would almost make it worth it to me.

I wonder what manner of ppl they are hiring at the P.O. lately. I got 3 first-class items on the same day and as usual tore them open as soon as I got them inside. One was an old scuffed-up pair of women's shoes. I looked at the label and they were addressed to Audrey something at Box 271. I'm Box 226. The second was the book I ordered. I taped the 3rd shut and added a note on the back before I remained it, saying "Sorry, Greg! I opened this before I realized it wasn't MY credit card statement!" He had a 4-digit P.O. box number.
Today I got a big, heavy box and it was in fact addressed to me, but someone had slit it open, realized they hadn't ordered any rose food, and carefully resealed it with clear mailing tape before giving it to Hasan at the counter, same as I did with Audrey's shoes. I wonder how many extra hours of work this is making for someone who understands that when the package has "Box 986" on it, you put it in Box 986. How hard is it!?

Given the Trump admin's ongoing attempts to deep-six the Post Office entirely, I have a couple of guesses: 1) Your local PO employees are trying to work in an environment of high-stress and sheer terror at the prospect of losing their jobs during the pandemic, and this is clouding their judgment. 2) The Trump administration has already replaced the employees in your local Post Office with trained howler monkeys.

Definitely the howler monkeys.

I've brought this up before, but it still baffles me why you never see graffiti in public restrooms anymore. Were people more apt to carry markers back in the day? I think graffiti gets covered-up/erased/painted over quicker these days.
Maybe it's like lighters/matches. I grew up believing (from the movies) that every adult carried some flame source as a routine, like they would keys or ID or even a pocket knife. I bet you'd only find maybe 15% carry lighters now. Tops. I'm not going to take a guess on knives.

There would be shitloads of graffiti if you could somehow text it into the wall.
