Wondering whether I should venture out today to do the laundry, or throw it all in the bathtub and use a toilet plunger to agitate, rise it with my shower head, the wring dry and put it in the dryer (long story as to why I have a dryer and no working washer).

I am actually getting a food shipment today, so that perks me up a bit, as delivery has been backed up as an octogenarian on heroin.

I am going to try and order some more protein bars today, as I think these last forever and pack a decent meal wallop in each bar. I shall not and will not horde anything, including vital supplies. Which probably matters as much to the horders as anything else anybody says...

Last night the street was flooded out like a lake; it came up in the yard about 12 feet from the house and some moron in a small SUV plowed into the water and killed his/her engine, then had to push it back thru the lake and get the thing towed. How anybody at this point doesnt know about downpours and floods in this neighborhood flabbergasts me, so either the person is going thru and doesn't live here, or is basically totally new. Bet they won't do that after a severe thunderstorm again...

Even though we are basically isolated 25/7, I am still going to be rehabbing  the shoulder once a week with physical therapy, as I really need both arms in a crisis, and the left rotator cuff was really acting up after a fall, and the last thing an isolated person needs is more physical dysfunction. It would be great if I lived in the neighborhood of 15 years ago, as I would have lots of neighbors to help me. Now I only have one I really know, and she is probably working from home, so she is busy most of the time, but at least she's intelligent and conscientious, so if its an emergency...

We lost a lot of neighbors here just due to crime; one guy down the street who only lived here about a year, was here only a few months when somebody kicked down his door and stole his TV and some other electronics while he was away. When he came back he said he wanted to find them and shoot them. He moved away shortly thereafter, and a friend on the corner moved away after the hold up and robbery of a food truck operator down the street. 

I heard they have never solved those robberies either; and the Mexican family that got robbed was followed home by a pair who jumped out of the car and robbed their food truck as it parked in their home driveway, after driving the 5 miles from where they set up and actually operate. I heard the gentlemen was trying to yell as loud as he could when they stuck the gun in his face to wake the neighbors; he didnt get much of a response until far too late. These  food truck robberies came one on top of the other a couple of years ago; I dont know if the couple robbers, or however many there were, are still operating around town, or moved to greener safer pastures.
